Now maturing well, this is a wine that reflects much of the freshness of 2008, with firm tannins and solid structure. A black currant flavor dominates this elegant offering, providing acidity as well as freshness. It could age for another few years, but is ready to drink now.

Ripe, creamy and decidedly fruity, this has a big waft of herbaceous, citrus and green plum flavors that are all up front and delicious. The wood element gives spice, offering a base for the fruit and giving good balance, and a vibrant, clean aftertaste.

It takes a while to get beyond the dry structure of this wine. But underneath that initially forbidding exterior, there is a solid core of ripe, sweet black fruits and an elegant balance with the acidity coming through to finish well. A wine for some aging—maybe 3–4 years.
