Used a Vinturi and drank immediately. Guzzled, to be more accurate, but not because it's a fruit bomb. Tasting notes consistent with previous bottle. Really like this wine, looking forward to trying the 2008.

Blackberries, dried cherries and chocolate. Very drinkable right out of the bottle, with enough acid and tannins to bring the flavors to your attention. My wife and I killed the bottle... not our normal M.O., just a testament to its balance. Although I think it'll be fine for the next couple of years in the cellar, I feel certain that I won't be giving my remaining bottles a chance to discover if that's true.

Last bottle of a very nice Merlot. See previous notes. Softened nicely without being too soft.

Very good indeed. Tannins have softened just the right amount IMO, drinking well. Previous notes apply.
