Following the same recipe and blend as the 2007, the 2008 Taberner #1 is very ripe with sings of overripe fruit, dried figs, prunes, dry plums with strong balsamic, incense and cloves that develop more and more animal sensations as the wine sits in the glass. The palate is more balanced, but again, it leaves the sensation of high-yielding young vines with excess of oak. It would be passable at a much lower price. 4,500 bottles.
