Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of perfume, berries and a hint of currant. Flavors of berries and currants. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannins, medium to full bodied. Hold. Kind of hard to rate at such a youthful age but we'll say at least 91 on the WIML scale. Perhaps more.

Nose of roses, Kirsch, talc and berries. Flavors of berries and cherries. Little light on the palate compared to the previous bottle. Light to medium acidity, resolved tannins, medium body. Drink now. Definitely better than the 2003 Koplen we had last week. My last bottle.

2007 Saxum Heart Stone Vineyard

Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of talc, herbs du provence, camphor and mixed berries. Flavors of jam, currants, berries, plums and bitters. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannins, medium to full bodied. Hold. Passing on a rating at the moment but if I had to venture a guess I'm betting this one will finally come in around the low to mid 90s mark on the WIML scale.
