A magnificent bottle with a 100% syrah. Nose shows very concentrated fruit, dark fruit, taste is very balanced and well integrated. Finish is very, very long. A very elegant wine that is ready to drink. One remark however : price is pretty (too?) high.

More complex than my last bottle. Intoxicating nose with notes of tree bark, blackberry, black licorice, a touch of clove and some asphalt on the nose. Well integrated and balanced in the mouth, amazing mass in the mouth while remaining very light on its feet. No noticeable heat despite 15% alc (amazing!). Wonderful rich, spicy finish that went on and on. In a great window right now and should maintain peak drinking for 5+ years. Really delicious!

Super Syrah Night (Casa Tomek): The most ready to drink of all the wines we had tonight. Tree bark, blackberry and some asphalt on the nose. Well integrated and balanced in the mouth, incredibly no noticeable heat despite 15% alc (amazing!). Wonderful rich, spicy finish that went on and on. In a great window right now and should maintain peak drinking for 5+ years. Really delicious!

Fruit and some stems on the nose. Well balanced in the mouth. Tannins are there but in harmony with the fruit and acid. Some pepper and eucalyptus wrapped in dark berries. Drink or hold.

Tasted blind: Black in color. Very rich nose of dark berries, pecan and coffee. The wine has a nice sweetness, lots of power and is quite balanced. At the moment it feels a bit one dimensional. I see this as a much better wine in a few years down the road.

My wife and I were simply blown away with this wine. 07 was as kind to Languedoc as it was to CNdP. I agree with Jeff Davies' interpretation of this vintage when he says 'this will far out distance the 2006'. I am very happy to have more of this in my cellars.

Excellent, but not the memorable quaff that the 2000 was.
