BEST BUY! Really well made Bordeaux at a very good price. Aromas of cassis and smoke are strong and pleasant. Dark red fruits and cassis with an earthy tannic finish. Good now with decanting, but will give you 10 years of aging. $22.99 OH Retail.

I decided to open this bottle over a two day period which became three, but was actually needed for this wine to come around to reveal it's core. My overall experience is guarded at this time since this wine in just an infant. I would wait about four to five years to see where this wine is headed. Ahhhh, patience is difficult, but that's why we all need wine cellars to age our wines! EG WineArchitect

Really great value and a lovely rich nose with a nice balanced palate. Lot's of tannin but integrated well with the fruit.

Ripe, rounded fruit with plentiful tannin. Blackcurrant and reasonably integrated oak.

Bdx tasting (merchant, non-blind): (small taste) Higher acidity and lighter than the rest of the lineup. Leaner than 2007, but more refreshing. 87-88
