2007 | Birthday weekend for my lovely wife.

Similar to notes from our recent 2005 pull, but the fruits are more muddled/commingled on the nose. Generous on the nose & palate; abbreviated notes.

Paired with baked pork tenderloin chops, glazed with Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, panko & Parmesan; roasted acorn squash with Za'atar, pomegranate molasses & lemon juice.

Decanted 2H at the time of notes.

From 3L. Silky and holding up just fine. Loads of Gowan's trademark black cherry compote.
