Nice mint, eucalyptus, black olive, large food tannins, vanilla, and Very nice milk chocolate on day 3. About a 40 second finish.
Decent Paso Robles style, but for my taste she is still young. I recommend give her ideally 3 more years. If I had to pop another now, then I would decant 3 hrs and pair with tannic food (a lamb roast with mint and thyme would probably be rock-on).

Fantastic; better after aerating for 30 minutes; deep red, almost black, color, blackberry hints, not chalky or tart, slight flower scent.

Very jammy tasting. Figured it would have been softer being a 2007 with the fruit and flavors more blended together.

Amazing wine. VERY rich and bold with lots of dark fruit flavors and dark chocolate. Excellent with steak. Highly recommend.
