Open 2 hours before. Nice red cherry color showing already an evolution. Expressive nose with red fruit, jammy fruits, leather and hint of something vegetal that I couldn't describe. Very pleasant palate with ripped strawberry, cherry jam, licorice, cigar, tobacco... Soft tannins already well integrated but making the finish a bit dry. Half body with a long finish. Already to be drink but could wait for another 5 years. Good wine from a difficult vintage.

Lovely nose and taste of liquorice and strawberries. The wine is medium bodied with light to moderate tannins that stick to the side of your cheeks.
Was not as good on the second day so will try to consume immediately next time.
For my second bottle I noted "Purple in colour, awesome nose of black fruits. Smooth. Slight heat. Integrated tannins. Medium body"
I was pleasantly surprised by this wine, and for the price ($30) believe it was a good value.

Purple in color and red fruits. Short finish. 2007 may not be a good year for Saint-Estephe.
