Tuesday, May 16, 2017 - Dark red. Intense nose, ripe red fruit, coffee bean, and earth. Nice wine but not what one expects. Decent wine from a ripe vintage.

I'll have to revisit as I haven't tasted this one for 5 years. Could it be a teenager and still come out or do you think it's hit its peak? I had it going until 2025...

I think 07 was a bit of an outlier for BdM . Even the traditional wines can be riper then normal.
