Probably could have opened this bottle a few years earlier, but it was delicious. I scored at 94 back then. Ample tannins left, and enough fruit to make me smile. Gave it a a big decant and It was singing especially with the meat toppings on Bub's 70th birthday pizza party. The richest deepest and best of our 3 2007 wines purchased at N&N years ago.

Drinking very nicely. Good freshness and acidity. Dark prunes and licorice. Cassis and a hint of menthol. Fine grained tannins give this nice structure.

Well balanced tannins and acidity. Notes of coffee, toffee, blueberries, black peppercorns and mint. I wished this wine had a longer finish, but it was enjoyable.
