How is this an ‘07? The color gives you some hints, the subtle way the fruits on the nose have gone from rich and full to slightly past ripe also queues you in. But the palette is so bright with acidity, the fruits still so lush and accommodating, this wine is still revving to go. A great example as to why added sulfites aren’t a must-have in age worthy wines.

Jan 2nd, 2018Latest release of EC's Bordeaux blend, Jolie. Acid is definitely higher this year - which I would imagine lead to them releasing their Suerte blend this year, as well - but unlike Suerte I feel the balance is a bit more in tune with what I enjoy. Rich black fruits, silky earth and grip and go tannins delight. Drinking great already, but I have no doubt you could come back to this one a decade or more down the line and be rewarded.
