"Softer, sweeter, more gentle than the 2006 with notes of muscavado and baked plums. A haunting perfume; peppery garrigue. Soft ripe flattering fruit. Very, very velvety supple tannins – a caress. This is a wine like a red velvet robe. It wraps around you seductively. Voluptuous without excess, the gentlest of all the vintages but in no way lacking structure and spice and a lovely orange citrus hint on the finish."
