May 4, 2007 - A little thin and some funk to the nose. This is a tad disappointing for a good CDRV producer like Texier in a good vintage. The nose has some horsey bret funk and a berry fruit of some sort. Tannins are and a little drying. The bret blows off in the glass so it probably is not bret but some other horsey smelling compound. There is not a lot to give in the palate, maybe some dried cherry to go with the mouth coating tannins. Time to drink because there is not a lot left of the fruit and a pretty decent slug of tannin still coming through. Perhaps decanting would open it up.

March 21, 2007 - Color is light red, typical grenache. This bottle had thown a ton of sediment and the cork had gotten dry and a tad crumbly. Don't think this was storage, maybe a bad cork. Fortunately, the wine was clean and free of TCA. Nose is somewhat muted, maybe a little tar, maybe a little raspberry fruit. Tannins are pretty well integrated. The wine is fully mature grenache, tar, leather, berries and no reason to hold off drinking. Suck it up.
