| Tasted by AndersZ on 11/16/2009 & rated 94 points: This is not for the faint of heart, it's so thick and dense I can almost chew it but at the same time one of the most delicious wines I've ever tasted. Some cherries find their way through the alchohol in the nose and ripe fruit mingled with cold minerals and licorice makes up the bulk of the taste. The wines is really focused, like a projector beam packed with power that just continues on and on. It's packed with smooth and integrated tannins, lots of acid and enough alchohol to knock you out if you aren't careful. The 2007 really maxes almost every parameter and for me that's exactly what I want. (612 views) | |

| Tasted by Richard Jennings on 10/15/2009 & rated 93 points: 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Tasting (Beltramo's in Menlo Park, California): Dark red violet color; intriguing ripe berry, black fruit, charcoal nose; dense, tart berry, mineral, plum, spice palate; medium-plus finish 93+ pts. (64% Grenache, 19% Mourvedre, 11% Syrah, 9% Cinsault) (979 views) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 8/15/2009 & rated 93 points: From the beginning soft and smooth. Ripe and pleasant sweet ripe red and black berries. Sweet liquorice. Soft tannin. Soft acidity. So full bodied and yet so elegant. Extremely harmonious and such a great pleasure drinking. Perfect without being extremely complex. Pleasant oak and garrigue. After double decanting 6 hours prior to the tasting it was a beauty and it continued to improve at least 12 hours after the decant. Then suddenly the bottle was empty. Will it ever taste better?

| Tasted by Billy Swan on 8/5/2009: Yee-HAH! Already when I'm pouring this in the decanter my head is spinning. Raspberrys, figs, cherrys, some kirsch, crushed mineral just rush out of the decanter. An hour later, served to grilled entrecôte with bearnaise and home-grown vegetables, it's lovely. Some meatish tones joins the berrys and mineral and like som other 07 C9Ps I've had it's like the fruit is swimming in something so creamy. It finishes with a wonderful twist of garrigue and licorice. Even though the mouthfeel is wonderfully creamy the acidity is there, just like tannins draped in velvet. This is outstanding.

| Tasted by Kdawg on 2/18/2009 & rated 91 points: A (mostly) Burgundy Seminar with Pierre Rovani (Spiaggia, Chicago IL): nose: excellent depth and purity with good amounts of black fruits, meaty tones, red and black cherries, bits of sour red fruits, and hints of some liqueur tones lurk underneath. Very well defined with a nice richness to it taste: very big tannins with an excellent medium feel. A bit of heat upfront with some black fruits, kirsch liqueur, meats, and some red fruits. Excellent depth with lots of purity of the fruits too overall: will obviously need time. Very rich, but has a beautiful purity to it at the same time. Considerable tannins show that this will require time, but should leave a wonderful CdP when it comes around (1123 views) |
