PnP. No decant needed any more. Very aromatic with black fruits, anise, chocolate, herb, cedar, and currant. Layers of flavor with dark fruits, cassis, herb, cedar, chocolate, and espresso. Medium body with soft tannins in a long finish. Showing very well now, but lots of life left.

From Magnum. Celebrating having the family together for Thanksgiving, this was a pop and pour and enjoyed greatly by all during the preparation of Thanksgiving diner. Cocoa and cherry flavour profile, mild tannin but not completely resolved, likely due to format. Many have said drink up on this bottle and with 750's that may be wise, but mag's of the 07 are doing well and I think have a few years to go before this goes beyond my preference into declining maturity.

Double decanted for 90 minutes, then back in bottle and overnight in the fridge. Opaque red. Bright berry nose. Bright red fruit with a hint of blackberry and tobacco. Just a bit of heat. Fine tannins, good acidity and balance. Finishes long and gentle with dark fruits. Seems just a bit hard. Past peak a bit but still quite drinkable.

Full range of black berries, mocha, and leather with silky tannins. Worth the wait.
