Ageing effortlessly at the moment . Very indicative of the year in its expression of ripeness. Suave texture, veering towards the modern, but the fruit, Nile rounding with age, still retains a very fresh personality. Unlike many 2007s, this does not feel tiring. This will be fascinating to follow. 91+

Developed nose and brick red in colour, still quite deep. Prunes, spice and leather. This wine seems to be drying out and has probably been kept a year or two too long. Still quite smooth and enjoyable.

Final bottle from a 6 pack, last had a bottle about 10 mos ago. This CdP was mature and lovely this evening, with ample notes of black cherry pie, espresso grounds, and warm cooking spices. This wine is at the end of it's life but still very nice, with softening tannins and medium acidity. Drink up.

Penultimate of 6 bottles, showed nicely tonite.
Red and black fruits, some pepper and anise, a bit of cooking spice. Nice and maturing, drink up.

Such a great cdp…let this go a little too long. Slight in bottle oxidation added some off putting caramel flavors . My bad here .
