Not 2008 and only 30% Larner, but interesting in comparison. Alcohol sticking out at this point and it seems in a transitional place. No lack of fruit, but it's just a jumble of a wine right now.

These take forever to come around. Huge and enjoyable - like a St. Bernard puppy. Wondering if it can survive the 15% ABV once it's otherwise mature...

I may be crazy, but drinking this in 2022, I love it. First day it had fruit with lots of acidity, but next day, has mellowed and is wonderful. Acids have receded, but fruit is dark and savory. Really like it!
