Sarah and I had the 07 of this particular wine a couple of months ago. Looks like they changed the label. I got this for 11$ at Costco--I like it when they have "companion" wines, or the chance to look at more than one wine from the same producer. At 11$, this is a great deal. This has everything that I liked in the 07--lots of plums, stone, and just a hint of spice. The profile is perhaps a little bit "darker" and focused more on plum than on cherries. Day two, a lot more bing cherry notes and the stony elements are amplified. I prefer this wine to the Morgon (which I've had 5 bottles of...that might be a new record for me), as well as to the 07. It seems to be a little bit more serious and has some more stuff going on. Well worht a look, especially for the price. A-
