Served at slightly above cellar temprature. Better than the first bottle we had (2/12). Strong fruit nose, with wonderful ruby color. Blackberry jam, creme de cassis, and white oak highlight this tight little gem. Strong finish that has some minerals and chalk to it, but finishes with a bitter roasted pear.

More lively than the austere 07. Black cherry, licorice and pepper on the palate, understated finish. Sampled over three nights and it was drinking nicely on the first two evenings. Decent QPR.
