Shows nicely in its youth. Definitely rich and heady nose with plenty of cassis, black cherry, toast, and vanilla. The palate is nice and rich. Firm tannins throughout with fresh acidity towards finish. Chocolate, more toasty vanilla, and creme de cassis. Nice QPR to boot! Firmer than the '06 and will probably round out and soften with time.

This may get better with time, which it needs to. Heavily extracted with stiff tannins. If you have a bottle in your cellar, wait a couple of years.
