  Found this nugget while mining in my cellar on Day 6 of the COVID shut-down. I was a bit worried that it was past eh supposed DBD of 2017 but not to worry it was D-lish. Great nose and long finish. All the flavors note by others and full of Dark Joy. It's not too late! Yumma!

  Alfresco dinner w old wines and young - Princeton Wine Crew and special guest Jamie Leahy of Marston Vineyards (Chez Walker - Princeton, NJ): First of the Marston reds, this one slow oxed for about an hour prior to drinking.
  
  Deep ruby/garnet color. Nose of dark fruits and herbs. Palate was currant, licorice, vanilla and cedar. Nice fruit and baking spice through the mid palate. Silky texture, medium/long finish. Very nice, should continue to evolve but drinking well now

  Outstanding. 07 was bold in our first exposure to Marston 2 years ago.....Thought I would give it a shot with the 05..... Popped and V'd.....WOW......glad I have 2 left! Really smooth and enjoyable. Great surprise and hope the 07 develops like the 05
