Tasted great immediately, soft tannins, sophisticated flavours, strong nose. Plenty of legs from the off - I imaging this was great last year or the 2006 would have tasted better.
Went off quite quickly - after 45 mins it started to lose it's edge.
To open and drink though it was great.

French wines tasting at local retailer: A surprisingly dark garnet - much darker than the 2007 GPL. Fine dark fruit, medium tannin, slightly bitter, short finish.

Merchant tasting Bordeaux 2007. Medium purple. Nose of dark fruit with a bit of toast. Enters the mid palate with a medium+ body but very quickly develops a drying, rustic sensation on the tannins. Not much aroma, not very good balance. I guess this is a typical case of too much extraction for what they picked...

Deep red colour. Cherries, some black currants, noticeable acidity, some tannins, slightly hard aftertaste with tart berries. 88-89 p?
