There is equally good volume and mid-palate density to the powerful and imposingly scaled flavors that brim with sappy dry extract on the impressively persistent finale that is quite firm

Bond, Vecina Size:6x750ml There is equally good volumeSaturated medium ruby. Cool perfume of blackberry, licorice, spices and black pepper. Suave and fine grained but still quite tight, showing little in the way of easy sweetness but also avoiding the greenness that plagues some 2008s. Although youthfully imploded, savory and dry, this powerfully tannic, mineral driven wine spreads out on the back end to coat the palate. Stephen Tanzer
