Good ruby-red. Pungent aromas of currant, licorice, cedar and chocolate; more complex than the 2007. Sweet, nicely delineated flavors of currant, black cherry and chocolate. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins and very good length. Today this shows considerably more vinosity than the young 2007.
