Robert Parker (95)

The 2008 Vecina is a huge, strapping wine bursting with dark fruit, leather, licorice, smoke, minerals and tar. It possesses striking mid-palate depth and more than enough fruit to stand up to the firm, imposing tannins. Iron, graphite, smoke and minerals are layered into the dark, brooding finish. This is an impressive showing.

Vinous (93)

Saturated medium ruby. Cool perfume of blackberry, licorice, spices and black pepper. Suave and fine-grained but still quite tight, showing little in the way of easy sweetness but also avoiding the greenness that plagues some 2008s. Although youthfully imploded, savory and dry, this powerfully tannic, mineral-driven wine spreads out on the back end to coat the palate.
