sublime oak juice, only i was looking for a sublime wine. it represents everything that is wrong with napa valley wines. i bet 99% of those who drink this have no idea what they are tasting. shameful

Quick note: slo-oxed for a couple hours. Napa 07’s are tannic structured wines that need extra time. This is at the age where it can be decanted or slo-oxed into a great drink. If I had more or a larger format bottle I’d hold off for 2-4 more years or more ideally! This wine needs time.

Similar to prior notes after double decanting for 2 hrs, deep ruby, dark fruit with some vanilla, med/firm tannins, long finish. This bottle was just entering its prime drinking; outstanding, drink or preferably hold

Similar to prior note after double decanting for 2 hrs, but tasted even younger (blind, I would have guessed 13); delicious, hold for at least another year or 2

Similar to prior notes after double decanting for 2 hrs; outstanding, but outshone by the 2012 VHR, drink or hold
