Made in the tell-tale Kirwan style (medium to full-bodied, lots of muscle, concentration, and thickness), the dense purple-colored 2008 offers sweet blackberry and cassis fruit along with a layered mouthfeel. A sleeper of the vintage, this 2008 remains backward and thus will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring. It has the potential to keep for two decades. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2033 01 May 2011 |

The core of plum and fig is pumped by dark maduro tobacco in this solid red, with a long, supple finish that shows definition and has a nice sweetness of fruit. Drink now through 2014. Score: 89 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2011-2014 31 March 2011 |
