  Riktigt trevlig rödbärig och örtig doft och i dagsläget föredrar vi smaken på den här jämfört med 07:an. Bra balans mellan syra och fruktsötma och inte den störande beskan som finns i det ett år äldre syskonet.

  Doften är dominerad av körsbär och annan röd frukt. I bakgrunden finns garrigues och lakrits. Smaken är rund och fruktsöt med en touch av salmiak. Gott och lättdrucket.

  -- tasted non-blind on Days 1 and 3 --
  -- Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre --
  
  Day 1:
  NOSE: not funky; smoky dark red berries; smoked deli sausage; old wood cabinetry; not fumey; hints of florals, minty children’s paste, and black licorice; moderately expressive.
  
  BODY: pure purple-tinged garnet color of medium-deep depth; medium-full bodied.
  
  TASTE: “dark”: concentrated plum with a fleck of leather; a tad prune-ish, but good freshness; spicy; very fine tannins; not very grippy; alcohol is not noticeable; nice ripeness and balance for the vintage; no serious structure, but this will go at least 10 years, no problem; Very very solid, but nothing groundbreaking. Good value at $30 - $35.
  
  B: 50, 5, 12, 16, 7 = 90
  
  Day 3:
  NOSE: sweet balsamic reduction; dark earthy fruits.
  
  BODY: medium to medium-full bodied.
  
  TASTE: good minerality; fruit seems a bit dilute on the back-end; purple fruits; hints of leather, wood, and black cherry; sweet and also slightly bitter; quite nice for the price. Gut impression score for today: 89 – 90.

  Helga's 7th Annual CDP Tasting (2008 Vintage CDPs Semi-Blind) (Atlanta, GA): Raspbery / touch of garrigue / heat on nose. Tannins dominated the palate - hard to drink today but the group thought this showed a lot of promise - NR.
