  I bought 6 bottles after tasting out of barrel in 2008 - and still have a few left. These wines continue to pleasantly surprise me with this much time in the cellar. I think it's maybe nearing the end of its "post-prime" but still a really wonderful experience - the nose is expressive if a little earthy; the fruit character is rich cherry pie and very intense; the mouthfeel is silky and the finish looooooong. The dusty and oxidative notes are definitely beginning to peak their head out - if you like that kind of thing, then WOW, given how much fruit is left.

  Still good. Love the 2007. However, not terribly informative note - sorry

  Tasted non blind.
  
  Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of light notes of barnyard followed by black berries and plums. Flavors of black cherries, berries and raspberries. Bright acidity, medium tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold.

  Amazing balance and firm back bone and good acidity. Round and delicious with secondary flavors. Medium length and pleasant finish.

  Listened to Ken Wright on the Levi Dalton podcast today and had to pop one.
  
  Pale to medium ruby. Nose is full of cumin, high toned red fruit. Very alive palate with a ton of cherry and strawberry. Finish takes on more of a dark fruit / secondary character.
  
  Overall very silky and pleasing. This wine is very pretty but also has presence.
