Fruitforward for a french wine, nice tobacco aspects with loads of dark fruit. Good acidity, tannins are hardly noticeable. Great wine to pair with food, I could see pairing this with salmon or duck. It should be noted that I decanted for 8 hours.

I drank this along side the 2005 to compare and while I preferred the 05 slightly, this is a fine wine, especially for under $30. Lots of rich black fruit, spice and tobacco. A slight mushroomy, musty, sulfury element that you get in some Rhone wines, but subtle enough to work fine complementing the other flavors. Super with lamb.
