  I am generally not a fan of this vintage, but this was pretty good. Soft and earthy. Rich but overly ripe or sweet.

  A good piece of evidence for drinking more CdP. Nice complexity from the very start and minimal tannic impact makes for very good drinking. Third night under pump got a little grapey, so probably near the end.

  Really pleased with this. Not sure what I paid, but major league profile, with lots of that C de P complexity going on. But leave it swirling in the mouth a long time and it's fun. Going strong, but no reason to wait.

  Assessed over three hours. Initially the wine offered baked plum and anise. The Syrah was evident with some smoky bacon tones, and the Mourvèdre with some barnyard. The tannins seemed fine grained early. The 14.5% was evident. On the palate, black fruits and black olives, oriental spice box. It was 2007 ripe but not plodding as some can be. Acidity was seemed adequate. I never got any Brett, only garrigue. With food the tannins became quite aggressive, contrary to what I usually expect. The lack of acidity emerged and the wine took on a Port-like quality. It did have some nice aromatic lift as it warmed in the mouth. I would say the wine is mid age. There was no sense of decline whatsoever.
