  Still young. Nose was light and the wine still pretty tight but promising. May mature into something but not ready quite yet.

  I greatly enjoyed Vedeau's Pic St Loups in the mid '90s, so when Jancis R rated the 2007 of this wine 19/20 I dove in and ordered a case of that.
  
  Oh dear, I'm worrying a lot about that now, and understanding the anonymity of this wine to date. Absolutely over the top blackberry. Burnt rubber, and Cologne?! Limited cherry jam. I am shocked and appalled to say that this is the chewiest wine I've ever tasted. A million miles from being Chateauneuf. Crude, bitter; horrible. I'm now desperately hoping that they've declined to put this wine forward to the world until they felt like they had it right with the '07, and/or that the divine, gentle nature of that vintage will have come to the rescue. 82 pts.
