Beautiful after a few minutes of air in the glass. Black tea, wild red berries, black walnut, and that bretty-medicinal note - this one had it all. Moderate plus acid held up to NY Strips, and the fine grained tannins added a nice squeeze on the palate to finish. Glad I opened it, but sorry to see it go. Drink or hold.

Showing fabulously! Floral nose with black fruits and dark, wet earth. Palate was silky, with a touch of oxidation, but mostly dominated by mature black fruits and earthy vanilla. Beautiful balanced - a lot of ‘07’s straddle the line of maturity with some showing fruit and some showing tertiary flavors. This one played both, with a deep, slightly brambly berry attack and seamlessly faded to the darker earthy and tobacco flavors. This is in a great place now, showed better than the ‘03, ‘04, and ‘05 I’ve had in recent years!
