1hr+ decant. Not sure if it needed more or was over the hill. Dark red color. Tough to write a note as this changed so much over the following hour. Medicinal tones with cherries and subtle vanilla. Medium minus finish. Might be in an odd phase? Confused!

2007 vintage - celebratory pours. Intense stewed cherries and dark red fruits to start followed by vanilla, herbs, tobacco. Long finish.

Intense flavor. Perfumy cab franc shines through.
