Nice wine big fruit a slight rubbery oily smell and flavor which is somewhat reminiscent of the off-putting/seductive aroma of a funky burgundy. But mostly big fruited. Not for fans of a finessed pinot

Decanted then let rest for a few minutes. Dark fruits especially cherries on the nose with a hint of alcohol. Initially, tasted of cherries and a slightly medicinal character that evolved into cherry and pomegranate, then cherry, plum, and a bit of cola after 2 hours. Incredibly pure without a hint of the 14.8% alcohol. Masculine and thoroughly enjoyable.

Stayed in the range of what has been typical for 2008s. This showed dark and gamey notes that is more common to the Pisoni vineyard than what is typical for KB. After being open for about and hour the nose really came alive though and was very nice. Savory notes, black fruits, and bitter dark chocolate.

Rich and loamy with notes of dark berry. Needed 30-60 minutes to open up and was really nice after that. A tasty wine.

Let this bottle breath for about 30 minutes to open up. Love the citrus, cola and baking spice with this bottle.
