Fading purple color with orange rim. Fairly subdued nose of earth, cherry, tobacco, some VA. Cherry, earth, tobacco, oak on the palate. Medium+ body, medium acidity, high tannins, medium finish. Smooths out with some air. Actually a very nice drink - not complex, but well balanced and flavorful.

Considering the price... a good glass of wine. Better than 2007 for sure. A bit unbalanced: color/scent standard, medium body, down on fruit, but high in alcohol, which gave a pleasant spicy after-taste. A wine with a bite :-)

Pas mieux que la dernière fois. Toujours aussi lourd et sans fruit. Manque de finesse et d'équilibre.

I decanter this wine about an hour or two before serving. Deep red color with berry and cedar. pairs well with beef and pasta.
