Darker ruby color. Healthy nose of fresh blackberry, raspberry, alpine flowers, stone, forest floor. Incisive black raspberry, mulberry, and iodine flavors on the tongue overlying a foundation of craggy, almost rustic stone and iron. Firmly tannic but relieved by fresh acidity and crisp surges of fruit. Lengthy finish of dark tart berry gripped by iron particles. Pretty fun to drink this with salmon. Could age for years.

Dark ruby. Nose of black raspberry and camphor spice draws you in immediately. High-toned blackberry and raspberry fruit in linear but exuberant array on the palate, accompanied by earth and iron in a potent and harmonious manner. Moderate to long finish, with structured tannins almost submerged by the surge of fruit. Moderate and refreshing acidity. Extremely likeable and interesting wine caught in its primary phase.

A bit more tannic and hard than the last bottle. Needs time, which is unusual for an 07.

Brought to W and S's house. Just as impressive as the last bottle.
