Very enjoyable after an hour decant and remained so through the following 3 hours. Didn’t quite hold its own with a marinated Tri-tip from the grill but as an after dinner pour it was outstanding. Fruit is fully integrated and the tannins have receded leaving a silken mouthfeel and flavors of darker fruits, cedar and menthol. Time is running out though so consuming in the next couple of years is recommended.

Dark red in color with subdued aromas of dark red fruit and some oak. this wine improved with time and air and would benefit from decanting. Good body with tastes of dark cherry, plums and dark berries. Good finish, 2007's are really good.

Still very fruity.
The wine looks amber colored. Tastes like raspberry jam.
