[Doggett]

V08 100% opacity. Not as big on the fruits as the 07 or younger ports. More tannins and leathers showing
90 Points

[Alex Bridgeman]

Deep red, medium rim. Fragrant nose that is fruity and very full. Youthful entry that comes across as aggressive; light on fruit at first with powerful and gripping tannins. Fruity finish, long and full of chewy, tannic blackcurrant. 90/100.

V08. Medium weight. Grit, fruit, and heat — too hot.
