Tasted over 2 hrs -med dark red minimal bricking -fairly rich ripe sweet plum dark fruit some wood -med acidity, med weight somewhat medicinal sweet plummy dark fruit framed in residual oak that adds to the med tannins -rather big ripe oaked and structured for an '07 though you can still pick up the underlying darker more refined fruit of the site, probably as good as it's going to get now

Took 2+ hours of slow ox to get anything out of this. Still a bit reticent but coming into pretty red cherry and floral characteristics. Med+ body and persistent tannins

Tasted over 2 hrs -med dark red mild bricking -aromatic pretty burg funk barrel spice sweet pinot right out of the gate -med acidity, med weight sweet almost syrupy dark pinot fruit with an overlay of wood that is prominent enough to throw off med+ tannins -aromatically quite pretty but wood is out of balance particularly in this vintage where the stuffing isn't quite enough to handle the oak treatment

Good, but think that we drank too quickly after opening. Pretty red fruit, lots of herbs, cinnamon, clove,m.

Still too much wood but less noticeable this bottle, which has a stewed fruit character.
