The 2007 is showing nicely with rich creamy buttery texture. Medium toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, crème brûlée, pineapple, lemon meringue pie, nutmeg, marshmallow, limestone & a hint of sarsaparilla on the finish. Full body with good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: There is some heat coming from the 14.6% alcohol. Chill it a little more than usual.
Interesting Point: Use the larger Chard glasses.
Drink now or over the next 3 years on its own or pair it with lobster and drawn butter.
