| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
RUTHERGLEN |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, baked plum nose with some mocha notes. Solid, dry, medium to medium-full bodied, slightly spicy, fairly extracty, baked plummy-cherry flavours with a fairly high acid, very crisp, vanilla-tinged finish. This repeat is similar to the 2008 (**/**+) released on July 21, 2012 at $20.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: Very deep purple-black in color, the 2008 Durif (Petite Sirah) offers pronounced notes of prunes, dried mulberries and spice cake with a whiff of tilled loam. Full bodied and generously fruited, the palate yields very crisp acid and a medium level of velvety tannins, finishing long and spicy. Drink it now to 2016. Score: 91 (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, erobertparker.com, June 2011) Full-bodied & Firm |
