Generous nose, some spices, heat. Vanilla, young, tasty, tannic.
Light color. Nose is a little bit hot, opens up after a while. Soft, watery palate.
Outstanding nose with earthy notes and some funk. Very soft palate. Still young.
Dark red color. Medium nose with a little bit of heat. Average palate, young.
Nose is a little hot. Somewhat soft palate, young, one dimension.
Medium nose, little bit hot. Similar to the '05.
More generous nose and more depth than the '05 and '07 right now with raspberries/strawberries notes and a little bit of funk. Still a little bit hot. Tannic.
Fairly dark red. Generous nose, herbs, bacon, meat. Very good palate, soft, still tannic.
Rustic nose, meat, spices, some sweetness, little hot. Much less tannic than the rest of today's line-up.
Ruby red with brown edges. Port/Sherry smell. Burt caramel. A very good wine, but I'm not sure I like the style.
