Opened and decanted. Getting some slight bricking around the rim. Aromas of blackberry, dried cherry, dusty berry, earth and smoked herbs. Flavors of dried cherry, blackberry, currant, chocolate and grape. Ends with a long finish of 35+ seconds of dried cherry and chocolate notes. This was stored properly and showing no signs of decline.

Popped cork 4 hours before, big bodied wine with mellow fruit up front. Certainly in prime with ability to hold for at least another ten years. For those who prefer Bordeaux style wines I'd recommend holding this for another 5 years. Good finish and paired well with pizza and pork chops.

Pop and pour more of yes. This is still very dark in color with just a bit of lightening around the rim. Aromas of blackberry, currant, dried cherry, cinnamon and some earth. Flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, currant, mocha and a touch of coffee. Ends with a coffee tinged finish that lasts 30+ seconds. Not over the top and done in a more classic Napa style. Best showing yet for this wine. The 2007 vintage is really special.

Pretty Cabernet that didn't show its age. Great for a LSU win!
