Drank over 3 days. Color was very dark. On the nose a dark black tea and maybe some orange peel. Spicy but not overtly oaked. Nice fruit on the second night, but on the first night it was the tannin and structure that led. Should pick up more of this for the medium term.

Maybe I'm just in a different place style wise, but for all the hype on 2007 this under delivers big time. Oak Oak Oak. But the fruit just isn't there to back it up. It tasted really woody, but was without the signature vanilla I think makes the oak palatable. From a stalwart producer with a defined style, this is a poor effort.

UGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: the only '06 of the bunch the '08 was burned in a fire. Sour component to this. Tannins still seem to need time.
