First time use with my Coravin - we took a glass each after we got back from Auberge (having already had my last 05 Missouri Stave Lot S) and this surprised us with how good it was - so god we opened the bottle and decanted while chatting. Consumed over the next 2 hours it was super smooth but with more fruit than the 05. Blew me away how good this was as I was expecting it to be under par. Glad I have another!

This 07 was rockin, maybe a little bit on the side where it seems they are better drinking now than waiting too long, that is if you are like me and like some decent fruit along with some oak. Very much enjoyed the bottle, no notes taken, but it was the typical Del Dotto i would expect!!
Was very surprised as some of my '07 DDottos have been a little inconsistent as we opened a magnum '07 just two month ago seemed a bit tired, and all bottles were purchased at the winery directly and stored since purchase in the same cellar location.

Brought to temp, decanted. tasted immediately - v hot. Left it to decant for 3 hours. Still v hot. Lots of fruit aroma - v little flavour. Tinges of brown in the wine itself. I hope the other 2 arent like this :(
Anyone holding these and not added a note recently?
Would not have thought 13 years too long for a wine of this provenance.

Rich black cherry and caramel notes. Great balance, nice long finish with smooth tannins. Nice wine!
