Treat it with a light hand, which is what worked for me. I thought it would probably be well beyond it’s prime and it’s not.

In its prime and gorgeous. Opens like a rose in bloom. Ripe, approachable, and with substantial depth. The Petit Verdot shines in the finish and rounds everything out to a "T". To my humble opinion, this 2007 Meritage is the Standard bearer, for reds, for the entire Commonwealth of Virginia.
