The Wine Advocate (Jun. 2011):

"The 2008 Paixar was fermented with native yeasts and aged for 16 months in new French oak. The wine is a glass-coating opaque purple color with a brooding bouquet of pain grille, mineral, exotic spices, incense, lavender, and black raspberry. Dense, packed, and opulent in the mouth, it effortlessly conceals enough ripe tannin to evolve for another 5-7 years. It will offer a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2028. Although there is no track record to help estimate longevity, the purity of fruit, the balance, and the wine’s structure make me confident that it will see its 20th birthday in peak form.
Bodegas y Vinedos Paixar owns 80-year-old Mencia vines at high elevation resulting in a harvest typically 15 days later than the rest of Bierzo."
