Saturday, February 27, 2010 - YES. So, it not a great bordeaux (IMO) but it is very, very good. Brambly, with a degree of development that signals a good bordeaux, very dark colour. Not old bordeaux and I am not clear whether it will ever get to be same. Some others have mused on whether the tannins will last beyond the fruit. This may be a reasonable conjecture. I would drink up now and just have fun.
