Silky sweet combo Merlot-Cab Franc nose with a taste that matches. Licorice and black cherry on the finish. This 2008 is a pleasant wine that should smooth out even more over next couple years

Not so sure what I'm getting here. The bouquet on this wine is better than the palate IMO. In the nose I'm getting a blackberry and grilled meat kind of thing going on. On the palate, it's a bit different. Although there is a mature blackberry, I'm also getting a lot of black tea, soy sauce, and this wine is a little smoky and dark in the middle. The finish seems to be devoid of most tannin, and the fruit on the finish shows some age. I'm a little bit disappointed overall, and I really hope that there was just a little bit of bottle variation going on here (have another bottle....and I think I'll probably open it SOON as opposed to later).

Good, not great for a $50+ bottle. It appears to be aging well. A light opening, then complex flavors through a decently long finish. 90 RP equivalent.
