Although conventional wisdom may say this wine is past it's prime, my taste buds say differently. With proper cellaring this wine has aged beautifully displaying concentrated notes of blackberries, cassis and mocha.

A little disappointed in this one. I have had other years of this wine that were just fantastic. Given that 2007 was supposed to be such a blockbuster I thought it would have been better. Kind of muted flavors. nothing really stood out.
