Casis, dark berry fruit, tobacco, prevalent lasting but round tannin. Stellar year, stellar producer, stellar wine.

Second time in a row the ‘07 Maiden has just gone nowhere for me. No punch or lift at all, muddled fruit and lots of heavy tannin.

This was solid but didn’t really go anywhere great and I wanted it to so bad. Cherry tobacco, blackberry and cedar. This bottle and the 3 others I brought to Wisconsin from Chicago all endured a ride in a wine suitcase in the back of a truck in the 15 degree Midwest winter. 3 of the bottles—Voerzio, Beringer and Harlan Maiden—all performed below expectations. The PM Les Pavots, however, was excellent. While I’ve never opened a Voerzio that young I’ve had consistently better experiences with the same vintages of the Beringer reserve and Maiden. I’m wondering if you cold weather dwellers think the cold transport played some role in what happened here.

2nd of the 3 pack. First bottle was opened in 2012, which was dark, and spice driven. Not today, opened with pure, extremely concentrated fruit and little spice. 15 minutes later the wine went "quiet"...and that's being nice. Don't get it, almost like it ate a Valium. Plan to open the 3rd in 2022.

I think this has crest its peak. Very balanced with plenty of tertiary notes that dominate the palate.

Beautiful color and well integrated tannins provide a foundation for this dark fruit (blackberries), cigar box, and balanced acidity tray from Harlan. At the peak for this wine IMO
