P n P. Soft sweet nose of violets, vanilla. Fruit forwRd napa merlot. Very new world compared to our 14 yo bord tonight. Held its own. Tannins there bot soft. Simple, but enjoyable. Drink or hold.

Dark opaque purple in a leggy glass, with rich aromas of black fruit, smoke and leather that carry to palate in a frenzy of blackberry, black cherry and sweet fig fruits, bolstered by smoke and leathery notes, encased in a nice tannic envelope. Finishes long and very pleasant. Had a bit left in the bottle, but it went off within a day and a half, unfortunately. Drinking at end of peak now, and absolutely terrific.

Next to last '07, we love this vintage. It's better every time we drink it.

Great stuff. I've always really enjoyed this wine and I wish I had more. I recommend drinking within the next couple of years.

Drinking well right now. Wonderful rich, dark fruit on the pallete, a smooth rich finish that goes on and on. Just delish.
