2007. Open carefully. Do not exuberantly yank the sediment-encrusted cork from the neck of the bottle. Unless you really love an ink bath. So I've heard.

Given the opening action I expected a jammy heavy wine. Could not have been more wrong. Cool, sleek, and elegant. Full of black cherry, anise, and roasted meat flavored, with a pretty floral note just before the finish. Pure delight. Not a surprise considering it was made by Cathy Corison. Glad I have a few left.
