Sweet light alcohol nose. Dark thick blood red plum color with slow legs. Slight citrus swish. A bit spicy. Lingering light finish of slight pepper and aspirin. Likely past it's prime, but still an easy drinker.

I'm glad I waited to open this bottle until past most recommendations. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it in 2018. I think it smoothed out into a very pleasant wine. Nice legs. Mild berry cherry fruit nose. Refreshing swish, not overpowering. Mellow short finish with no negative lingering aftertaste. Goes down easy. I would consider buying more if I could, but finding this 2008 in 2018 is not likely, plus if it would have needed proper storing.
