Another perfect Cab from the Spanish Master Winemaker at his peak. The harvest was great, but improved under his care to create a wine that lasted well past it's normal consumption range....still rich, dense fruit, long tannins. One of my favorites from Emilio.

The previous reviewer's bottle may not have been stored well or otherwise flawed. The one we opened yesterday was perfect. Still a beautiful dark red, plenty of nose and body with good fruit. Tannins we're soft with a lucious mouth feel. We opened a slightly younger 91pt. Barolo after this one, and my European wine conossieur friend remarked that it "didn't hold a candle" to the SMW Sangiovese Reserve.

This week we did our only bottle of the 2007 Petit Syrah. It was extraordinary....dark inky opaque purple, with plenty of body and dense jammy complex flavors, all laid like a gem on a velvet pillow. Really smooth and wonderful. Shared w a friend who lives in Switzerland and Washington state, and he couldn't believe it was a Texas wine. Emilio produces winners that age extremely well again and again!
