This is the reason for having a wine cellar to keep this bottle for 6-7 years and drink at what is its peak by my taste. Very smooth, well balanced now at low tannins. some cherry, chocolate. nice lingering taste. Sorry it is my last bottle

This bottle is the last of my Maroon from 07, and I may have waited too long. Still fairly rich, but now has some herbal notes and some bite. It might be shifting to some secondary flavors, but I think it's just past prime.
I've had a bad feeling 07 was going to be like 97, and wines will be better younger. Will have to pull out some other 07s to find out.

Decanted for half an hour before dinner. Dark crimson color. Notes of cassis and black currant liqueur, incense and chocolate. Full-bodied with medium tannins and flavors of cassis, cherry, chocolate and vanilla. Medium+ finish.

PNP. Big, rich, and chewy. Beautiful dark fruit, with chocolate overtones. Plenty of acididity to keep fruit in check. Smoking deal for $25. Drink now.

Very good but not as I'd hoped/remembered from other '07 Maroon's. Like another review stated, I expected more from an '07 and was relatively disappointed from that perspective. Still a nice bottle but not memorable.
