  April 9, 2024 - Beautiful nose loaded with grilled rosemary and thyme switches, white pepper, lavender, roasting meat and roasted black cherries. Just massively aromatic! Medium-full bodied, this is still quite tannic and they are drying. They detract from the palate which is similarly loaded with tons of herbs de Provence, black pepper and some herbal qualities as well as copious black cherry, wild blueberry and mulberry fruit. I doubt these gritty tannins will ever resolve, but only time will tell. For lovers of gritty, rustic tannin only. This developed in the decanter quite well. Drink now-2029 94

  November 22, 2021 - Gorgeous . This is starting to sing right now. Tannins still a little chalky and grippy. Deep garnet color shows little signs of age. Nose has lots of leather, mushroom , lavender , garrigue, hoisin, dried cherry, dried raspberry and a hint of tomato leaf.
  
  I have been very disappointed by lots of other 2007 CdPs and Gigondas that have died in my passive cellar, but this wine seems pretty bomb proof. Entering a good drinking window. This wine lived up to its promise. Drink over next 5-7 years.

  July 15, 2021 - Inspiriert von der jüngsten großen Gigondas-Jahrgangs-Verkostung von Herrn Dunnuck hab´ ich mal eine aufgemacht. 4 h dekantiert!
  So geht südliche Rhone in 2007! Nichts fettes, breites oder marmeladiges! Immer noch frisch, mit genug Gerbstoff und Säure für mindestens noch weitere 10 Jahre. Noch deutlich auf der Frucht, aber auch schon schön kräutrig. Toll!! 94+P

  December 17, 2020 - Nach dem Öffnen reichlich rote Beerenfrucht, Gewürze, Veilchen; im Verlauf mit mehr Luft auch erdige Noten, Veilchen; am Gaumen ist das Tannin nicht mehr so ruppig und verbindet sich mit Frucht und Sekundärnoten zu einem schönen, langen Abgang. Der hohe Alkoholgehalt schmeckt niemals vor. Sehr lecker, aber meines Erachtens jetzt auf dem Höhepunkt.

  November 23, 2020 - Started very rustic and high in tannin. After a few hours of air it calmed down and ended in a very nice southern rhone. Cherry all over, little herbal notes and good finish. very fresh. Will improve !! next in 2022 93+
