I have been Jonesing to try this wine. Having thoroughly enjoyed every bottle of the 2005 vintage that I have opened (about 2 cases), I was looking forward to tasting the 2007 vintage since the half-bottles arrived 18 months ago. I could wait no longer, so I opened the first one. The first thing that you notice is the terrific nose filled with vintage typical fruits. The palette followed suit with sweet tannins and flavors of blackberry, blueberry, mineral, leather, and lingering black cherry notes. My only disappointment is that the 2007 lacks the substance and weight of the 2005, but will surely develop into a more elegant wine in a few more years.
