Tasting notes:
Fragrant strawberry and cherry on the nose
Soft and medium bodied on the palate
Rhubarb finish with a somewhat odd plastic note
Summary:
I had big hopes for this new release after the delicious 2009. While it has good aromas on the nose, it also has a bit of an odd plastic note on the finish. It could be a "bad bottle" that I have but it doesn't have the musty taint of a corked wine.
With that said, you don't even need to gamble with the 2010 vintage if you grab all the 2009's you can find before they're gone. There's really no comparison as it's a much better wine and a great value a $13. Raise a glass of last year's release!
