Obviously still showing nice primary fruit character, but starting to turn the corner just a bit. Palate comes across with softer and rounder edges. Nose is more of a bouquet than individual components. Tis has a couple more good years in it, but doesn't strike me as one to keep around much past 2014. Maybe i'm mistaken, but only time will tell. I guess this is DAY3, so perhaps that suggests some additional legs, if you have this one stuffed away.

I will stick with my rating from my last review, but this bottle was a little past it's prime. I should have drunk it earlier.

Baby Chateauneuf du Pape. I did get a bit too much alcohol on the palate but all in all, this is a really nice wine for the price.

Good inexpensive red. If you can get at the $10 - $11 price range it is worth it. Drink through 2011.
