Blackberry, tobacco, anise. Big tannins...broader shoulders than I expected. Think I need a water crisp.

Wine #4 in vertical tasting. This was a solid favorite early on in the tasting. It was well rounded but not as much as 2006, it was flavorful but not as much as 2007. So all-in-all this was tasty but didn't rise above the others.

Delightful! You could lay this down for a few years but it is drinking well now. 56% merlot.
