12/8/2022 - fisk15 wrote: 93 pointsFrom Magnum. Celebrating having the family together for Thanksgiving, this was a pop and pour and enjoyed greatly by all during the preparation of Thanksgiving diner. Cocoa and cherry flavour profile, mild tannin but not completely resolved, likely due to format. Many have said drink up on this bottle and with 750's that may be wise, but mag's of the 07 are doing well and I think have a few years to go before this goes beyond my preference into declining maturity. |
