This light bodied, fruity wine from the general section has notes of raspberry and red currant. Tannins are dusty and refined to tannic (decant for 15 min). The finish is medium and uneventful. Cork is fake, but regardless there is no need to age this wine. I must say that it has a nice acidity that would be great with pasta. My impression: NICE, 86 pts. Try it - what can be expected/said for $10? Tasted July/10.

This is for the 2008 Vintage:
Nice nose, sandalwood, cherry nose, smokey bacon, black currents & black berries. On the taste all green & twigs. Very austere. I thing after 10 yrs it might age, but I wouldn't bet on it. Can't drink on it's own & needs something salty like speck.

Tasted: March 2011

Score: 5/10, Value: 8/10, Total: 13/20
