This is a fantastic bottle of wine for the price. Blackberry, mint, a little earthiness and a touch of vanilla on the nose. These same flavours are carried through the palate to a short to medium length finish. I much prefer this vintage to the 2005 although that wine can hold its own as well.

Dark purple in colour and opaque. Wonderful nose of vanilla, dark berries and a little earthiness. Full bodied and a little creamy in the mouth with a moderate finish. I think this wine is drinking very well right now and is excellent quality and value for the price.

--Thick Purple coloring. Noticeably thick legs. Nose is jam-packed with strawberry, black cherry mousse, passionfruit, definite cassis character forming. The palate follows through with the cassis and plum flavors, as well as spice, quality red licorice, with hints of mocha. This wine is very full-bodied but it finishes a bit short which is fairly strange. The tannins are very sweet. This wine could use some cellaring and probably can go for another 5-7 years.

Past it's prime and very mellow, drinkable still. Went well with roast chicken.
