A real pleasure to drink. 2007 is in a great window of cellar age. Still showing loads of black fruit, cassis, dark chocolate. Some minty freshness and eucalyptus. Very soft, plush palate.

Not much fruit for an 07, lots of Alc.

1 hour decant(lots of fine/cloudy sediment). A prodigious dark ruby red color. On the nose: subtle notes of brambly black cherry, blueberry, nutty vanilla, touch of worn leather, floral. Taste: smooth, soft wine with mellow notes of black fruit, mocha, cedar, little bitter tea and a medium finish.

This has gained a great deal of complexity over the last few years. Lovely Stags Leap elegance with plush fruit and savory leather.

One of the best bottles I've ever had. Subtle, smooth with a velvet finish. Paired with a ribeye at Lewnis Steakhouse
