Excellent crimson-purple; a bouquet that has the same allure as a great pinot, drawing you back again repeatedly before you taste the wine; Turkey Flat nailed the '08 vintage, capturing all of its luscious black fruits without a scintilla of jam or confection; the texture of the ripe tannins is perfect, as is the oak balance.

This release from 2008 is another very good wine. It’s thick, warm and flavoursome and if you poured it into a big glass and put it in front of me, I’d lap it up. It tastes of blackberries and tar and modest vanilla, and there may even be slight a scent of violets. It has satisfactory length and soft, easy-going tannin. As much as I enjoyed this – I did find myself wanting for a fraction more. That said, when I took it to the dinner table and let it breathe some more, it did stretch out nicely on the finish.
