While some evolution would clearly be expected of '08's at this age, the deep golden hue, soaked cork in spite of ideal storage conditions, and highly evolved nutty flavors all point to premox. Still "drinkable" based on the fine balance of racy acidity, but it performed to about 40% of potential. Hugely disappointing.
