Multidimensional nose brooding prune, plum, dates and raspberry. Long long finish makes Steinbeck seem a novella writer. Not perfect but very very close 15+ brilliant years ahead
If a date, this is that cerebral McKinsey partner you've lusted after for years and finally approached.

My first hundred Acre and I was very impressed. This is a big wine. Pours dark. Nice but not super expressive nose. The magic is in the mouth. Very concentrated. Layered. Yet smooth and balanced. Nice acid. Lingering finish. Drink or hold. Would go another 5 plus years if you like your wine softer.

Of course, this legendary wine was fantastic after aerating then decanting for 2 hours. Garnet color with very slight amber penumbra, it comes off more medium bodied - less than expected - forshadowing some restraint as compared to other fruitier Hundreds I’ve tasted. I would say this wine is a tad short of perfection also due to its length, which, while impressive, did not overwhelm or inspire as I would want and expect in such a wine. Nonetheless, the 07 KM is drinking wonderfully and was a privilege to share with dear friends on my birthday with lamb chops and wild shot venison loin my wife deftly prepared.

S&E Napa Extravaganza (at Home): NOT Blind
This wine was showing garnet and some lighter shades of red. Decanting improved the wine (3 hours).
Tannins are still powerful yet restrained. 8+.
Red fruits are showing and the dark fruits have receded.
The last time I had this wine some 10 years ago, it was way too tannic. This has softened somewhat amazingly.
My score maybe a touch high?
