I love this stuff although it's not as ready as the 09 brother. Sit on it for a bit to get all of it's floral, round black cherry, pipe tobacco goodness going. It needs to drop some baby fat and it may push to 92+. Drink the 09 if you can!
Good bottle. Lots of cherry, some tobacco leaf. I agree with the prior observations on color. It is a bit brownish. It can trick you on age but only in color because it is very fresh. This is a lovely summer red. Light and refreshing. Had it with penne a la vodka with scallops. Workable pairing.

Lots of tart cherry, as many tasters have noted. Extremely balanced wine, light body, easy summer red.
