Bright red. A complex bouquet offers black raspberry, cherry and a strong note of licorice. Coats the palate with dark berry and bitter cherry flavors and picks up an exotic floral quality with air. A spicy quality adds vivacity to a long, penetrating finish. This looks like it will age.

Solid Combe des Fous but not the equal of the 2005 or 2007. Probably a bit unfair to judge it against those but this was stilla very pleasurable wine to savor. Fruit forward with nice structure and the rich nose. Probably needs a few more years but quite enjoyable today.
