Baked cherry and plum, licorice, asphalt, herbs. Finely etched tannins, refreshing minerality on the finish.

Linden Avenius Red 2007 still drinking very well despite 07 being a super hot vintage. The cool Avenius vineyard and its inherent minerality made one of the best wines of the vintage.

In a great place. Big fruit, but a really sturdy acid backbone.
