Arnot-Robert's 2007 Bugay is in a perfect spot tonight with deep, dark black fruit, cassis, a bit of forest floor, and leather. Ripe acidity and fine, mostly resolved tannins. This is nicely balanced with everything neatly in its place. Great.

Surprisingly dark, vibrant colour. Bouquet leans towards dark fruit with a hint of vanilla from oak. Flavours were well-balanced and fresh with a long fruity finish. Sadly, my only bottle. Not a bad time to open this one but it still has several good years ahead of it.

Beautiful dark, vibrant purple in the glass. Nose picks up berries and cherries first then sweet herbs (fennel plus something else) and a floral rose/honeysuckle overtone. Palate very much matches nose with the fruit more prominent. Nice, slightly drying, medium finish. A great '07 Cali Cab.
