Like the 2007, the 2008 includes 6% Viognier and used 20% whole bunches, matured in 30% new oak. A very primal nose that blossoms in the glass to reveal violets, black cherries, plum, a touch of kirsch, a hint of bacon fat developing. The palate is full-bodied, very rounded on the entry, supple red-berried fruit, a touch of cooked meat, wild strawberry, very elegant and finely tuned on the finish. This is a more feminine style of Clonakilla, beautiful. Drink 2011-2018.
