Wow! Took fellow CT'ers advice and decanted for 3 hours before tasting. Incredibly dynamic, high-tone red berries, cranberry, italian garrigue (dust, field flowers, cedar and tobacco on the nose. Red fruits, cranberry and tobacco on the flavorful palate. One knock: Somewhat thin and metallic moving through the palate; expected fuller and richer. Still, flavorful (if somewhat one-dimensional) through to the finish. This had a lot of energy from start to finish. Delicious.
There is great energy here, with some red tones to the fruit, spice, floral and tobacco. This is flat out delicious. Both the 06 and the 10 were darker, richer and rounder, but boring. This was my last 07 unfortunately.

Restaurant purchase in Hawaii - so 4x retail. Lots of green apple, lime and saline on the nose. Palate includes same and broadens to green melon. Salty, crisp, acidic backbone throughout. Very good Chablis alternative that drank well with raw bar and mahi mahi.

This bottle much better than last, although cork a bit dry and the bottle is definitely showing its age. Cherry pie, raspberries, garrigue and asian spice on the expressive nose. Cherry, black cherry, kirsch on the attack; pleasant notes of dusty field herbs and spice through the slightly syrupy finish. Drinking nicely, but not sure how much longer.
