Medium red. Intense nose, cedar box and black berry with a nice earthiness. More intense then ripe although there was some ripeness there. Dry black fruit flavours and a very fuzzy tannic finish.
Very good at a decade old.

Absolutely stunning. Right in its drinking window right now, We've had several '07 BC reds lately and they have been showing very well. The bouquet filled the room as I decanted. Dark red fruits with herbs and leather. Aromatics carried thru on the palate but it was the silky tannins and medium-plus body that was so satisfying. Friends grilled two beef tomahawks served with caramelized shallots and gorgonzola. Really impressive red - complexity, intensity and integral balance. Opened the friends' '08 Portfolio next which wasn't ready yet and was a bit out of balance.

Clear medium red. Still appeared to be fairly young. Red fruit, herbs, green peppercorns and olives. Delicious spicy red fruits and a still tannic finish. Perfect, balanced finish.
Could go another5 years.

No formal notes. A matured wine, still going strong though with all components there. Love the smokiness ...Drink up soon!

Good but not great compared to other vintages in the vertical.
