I had another one of these $11 bottles hanging around in my cellar so I decided to give it a try. To my surprise this was very good. When it was released it did get a 90 rating and the wine held up well. Very nice dark almost purple red. Aromas of sweet dark berry fruits with a puff of spice. Blackberry and ripe cherry flavors, nice acidity on soft tannins. Lingering ending with some earthy sweet cacao tones. I wish I had a few more ‘09’s. Nice value! Enjoy now if you have a bottle.
