5/15/2013 - Yelm Likes this wine:

Had put my last bottle of the 07 aside for some time to see how it would evolve. The aromas of strawberry, cherries, flowers, spice, and clove were still evident but much more elegant in taste as the sweetness had calmed down. Very happy to have let this rest.

Have historically loved the taste/quality of 1999 but this bottle is clearly on the downside of it's life. Overall structure still present but ... If still in your cellar, would suggest thinking about moving it up towards the front of the "drink now" list.

This cab is hitting in within all aspect of flavor profile. And smooth? Oh, yes! If you have more in your future, you truly are fortunate.

18 months since popping our first of the 07 Cab finding it to open up well but still in need of decanting for at least an hour. Well worth drinking now and will only get better with a bit more time.

Decant for at least an hour to allow it to open up. Wine is hitting the end of it's run so would sugget breaking your out of the cellar soon.

After seeing prior comments decided to fire this one out of the cellar and are so happy we did. Drinking supper well right now.

Decant for at least an hour; two would be better. Think this wine has "crested the hill" so would suggest moving this up in the rotation if still in your cellar.

A little too early for this one. Best to keep in cellar for the time being. If you must, open it up and decant for at least a few hours if possible. Other recent reviews are spot on regarding "heat" at this stage.

A bright and fantastic pinot now but will only get better with a few more years in the cellar. Decanted for an hour and it was ready to go. Paired well with Italian dinner as the feature of the evening. Haven't had this since our visit to the tasting room but am sooooo happy to rediscover it's qualities this evening.

Still developing but is tasting great at this time. Nice hints of pear and apples. Pleasant and consistent rolling across the palate. Pared well with tray of various cheeses and fruits.

Dark ruby in color. Complex but not overpowering to meal. Paired well with New Year's Eve dinner of filets, alaskan king crab, etc.

Sweet overtones of pear and citrus. Second sip better than the first. Paired well with grilled figs and cheeses. Great now but believe that it's peaked / peaking. Time to drink is now.

BIG and BOLD Cali cab. Decanated for an hour before serving. Served with spaghetti and meat sauce dinner. Would love to see more in the wine cellar.

Happened to find this hiding in the wine cellar. Decent but nothing memorable at this point of time. Nice tones of pear and apple. Not overly "oaky". Going well with cheese assortment on warm Labor Day afternoon on the patio. If you've got some left, I would consider drinking it now.

Nicely paried with figs/ goat cheese appetizer. Drinking well right now.

Heads up! This is drinking well right now. Smooth addition to Italian dinner.

8/14/2011 - Yelm wrote:

Still young at this time. Decant for an hour or more before consuming. Once open, red fruits come to the front. Would defer on opening our next one for a while but look forward to it maturing.

Paired well with porterhouse steak and butter / chipotle glazed corn grilled. Well done. Nice balance.

5/31/2011 - Yelm wrote:

Decanted for an hour before drinking as others had suggested. Found it to open well and be balanced with overtones of varied fruits. Lightly oaked and acidic in nature. Deep rich color at this time and found to have nice tannins and be well balanced. Nice dinner wine with chicken and / or beef. Drinking well at this time.

Well-balanced and enjoyable. Depth of flavors and appearance found pleasant. Dark in color with fruit/berry tones. Decant an hour before consuming. A great bottle for it's price point.

Pleasantly surprised. Served with assorted EU cheeses. Nice dark fruit taste. Well balanced. Wish we had another.

Diving into our first 2007 from the cellar. Deep, dark purple that is drinking quite well right now. Rolling nicely on the palate. Glad that we have more to come!

Favors are of broad range including plum and deep blackberry along with hints of raspberry. Nice and smooth on the palate and to the nose.

3/13/2011 - Yelm wrote:

One of our favorites. Has aged nicely. Hints of vanilla, pear and nuts with creamy base.

Decanted for an hour and it opened up nicely. Great with burgers on the grill. Wish we had another bottle in the cellar.

Paired with beef shoulder, caramelized brussel sprouts and rice, Tresor was up to the challenge. Wine is bold and ready to drink now. Finishing last glass with Tim Tams. What a treat!

Little more spicy than Two Pisces. Brick red color; raspberry varied red fruits, loving with dinner. Young. May get better with time but very drinkable now.

Rich and textured. Great legs. Wine opened up after decanting for an hour. A very nice wine. If you still have one, the time is now to drink it.
