Avec pas mal de carafe, 2 à 3 heures, il se dévoile. Au nez des fruits noirs et des épices. En bouche, prunes, tabac et chocolat. Tannins serrés et finale assez longue.

This is a very nice Cab still in a great place. Upon first opening the aroma was powerful with the lush fruit the '07 vintage was known for. But no flabbiness in the palate--this is still drinking beautifully. Tannins are subtle and I doubt much more evolution will happen, but the combination of black/blueberry with cedar--a light woodsmoke--is very pleasant. Didn't change much after an hour open or on 2nd night after pumping. Opens up pretty quick

Peppery, woodsy aroma. Blackberry, cedar flavors with nice tannins.
