Thursday, March 15, 2007 - Still quite dark. Nice earthy aromas, a touch of light pipe tobacco. Very silky in the mouth, not a rough edge. Medium bodied with black cherries and some savory notes. Tannins seem fully integrated. Decent acidity still present. 30 second finish. My note seems a little unfocused to me and I think it is a reflection of my impression of the wine.
FWIW: Decanted 1.5 hours,poured back into bottle, brought to Lucques (LA) Went nicely with saddle of lamb.
