Getting to the last bottle of this set of 2007s. Holding up great and still a 9.3 for me. The tannins were always more pronounced in this wine and likely why it held up so well through the years - probably has 10 more years in it. — 21 days ago

"La Val" is Spanish for "The Val." And we are drinking La Val with our friend Val. So, it's all coming together.
