August 18, 2013 - Love this, just goes to show you can't lump all wines into a generally agreed poor vintage. Turns out 2007 was great in the right hands. Lovely medium-light cherry color. Nose is forest floor, the pleasant earthy funk, no barnyard. Round mouthfeel, dried cherries and traces of noticeable alcohol. But lasting and satisfying. A sense of mint in the nose lasts. Surprisingly good for the price, but you needed patience.
