Opened early, let breathe in the bottle for 3 hours.

Disappointing. Nose is thin and giving next to nothing. Palate is non-existent only a hint of sour cherry peeks through with an immediate astringent chaser (tannin?). No finish to speak of.

Not enjoying this at all which is very surprising as I have bought heavily and have enjoyed all previous bottles (Alesia & Rhys) that I have opened. Weird showing.

Reminds me of a slightly more unwound version of the 2011 PYCM St Aubin 1er Cru I had earlier this year. Lemon curd, hazelnuts and a touch of butter, all cut with laser-like acidity. Wonderful pairing with top-notch Chinese takeout. A pleasure to drink tonight.

Color was darker than I would have expected. Alcohol was very prominent, which is not surprising for a wine listed at 15.6%. Didn't seem flawed; but like the other 2007's I've had (Lauren & Ritchie) a disappointment.
