Mellowed from last time I popped a cork on this vintage (July 2010), but still some great veggies. They are more in the background now, and so the whole thing is now wonderfully integrated. I have one more of these left, and look forward to opening it sometime in 2013.

Very light color. Almost like a dark rose. Tart cherry and cola notes on the nose. Some brick. Puckeringly dry and tart. Long dry finish that is more of the same. Okay for the money.
