this ups the percentage of cabernet to 60%, with 25% syrah, 14% petit verdot and just 1% cabernet franc. released almost a full year later than the other long shadows reds, it is well-integrated and focused, with high-toned black cherry fruit set in dusty tannins. scents of sandalwood drift through, along with cocoa and spice. as good or even better than the outstanding 2006.
