Big, rich and ripe. Not worth $60!

Berries with medium tannin. My third bottle of 2008 is already brick-ish color, but still lots of fruits in it. Somebody may like this but I don't. I have no idea how I can do food matching with this bottle. Any suggestion?

A great, reasonably priced, Châteauneuf. The wine evolved from the barny, to the fruity and eventually to the olive scented so familiar to the region. On the palate cherry was prominent with a lingering finish that reminded me of the earthy notes on opening. Medium tannins. Lovely less expensive Châteauneuf.
