Clear amber with lots of fine suspended particulate, and quick fading light head. ’08 was a little redder, and had no particulate. Nose is floral and some caramel. Flavor is a bit astringent on both. The alcohol was more pronounced in the flavor of the ’08. Wasn’t all that impressed with either year.
