Bought from the list. Cork disintegrated but wine was in good shape. Mature cab - ready to drink. Smooth. Currant, pencil lead, a little menthol…fine grained / integrated tannins.
Vertical of the 2007-2009. Surprisingly, all five tasters agreed on the order: 2008 first, 2007 second, 2009 third.
2009 Aromas of wet stone and raspberry. Cola with mild raspberry and cherry. Dry, a touch sour. Medium- flavor at opening, opening up to medium later. Better over time, so decant 30-60 minutes if opening now. 91
2008 Dusty aroma, a touch of earth. A hint of sour cherry on the nose. More body and fruit than the 2007 or 2009. Medium+ body, mouth-coating raspberries and plum with a touch of cocoa. 94+
2007 Funk on the nose, reminding me of an old-world wine. Raspberry cola, with a hint of minerality. Did not add weight with air, but fruit came forward, as did the funk on the nose. 92

Drank 11/25/23; glass decanted 4 hours. Was very enjoyable. Probably has more time but not a lot.
