  The 2007 vintage is indeed drinking so beautifully right now - what a gorgeous, sexy, rewarding wine! Nose is full of roses, gentle thyme and sous bois - clean and lifting for your nose. Perfectly weighted on the palate, it's pillowy and almost weightless, yet satiny as well. Red and black berry immediately introduce themselves, and carry through in a voluptuous, round and expressive flavor profile. Finish is absolutely seamless in transition, long and tapering so gracefully. A wine in an absolutely perfect space for me, now, and one I wish I bought by the case so long ago...wonderful.

  Nose open for bidness, palette still a bit shut down. This could just be the house style in a cooler year. Still an enjoyable drink, but a bit austere for a grand cru.

  NR as I couldn't figure this one out... is it shut (strange for 2007 vintage at this time -- most of my '07 burgs are open and ready to play) is felt closed and only very slowly got better over our drinking window (7-9:30 pm, after decanting from 4-7 PM)... not sure about this one, but maybe the rare '07 which needs a ton of time in bottle?

  Nose: The nose is wide open for business after about two hours of air with a dark, attractive side of sour red cherries, raspberries, earth, violets, peppery notes, spice, herbs, tobacco, cranberries, and pine forest. There is excellent depth as I keep going back to just smell this.
  
  Taste: The feel is Medium bodied with refreshing, medium + acid and silky, medium tannins. The structure has peeled back and into something a bit mature as well as the feel with sour red cherries, raspberries, earth, cranberries, violets, peppery notes, herbs, and some tobacco.
  
  Overall: I said almost ten years ago that I wanted to try this in ten years and here we are. I am certainly glad that I did try this right now as it’s just a sexy Clos Vougeot that is giving right now. It can certainly keep aging for a while longer, but it’s in a wonderful spot right now.

  I found this pretty reserved and inward for the purportedly open 2007s. Perhaps the rule doesn't apply to GC. Good black cherry fruit with nice clay and spice lurking beneath. The palate had very good concentration and plenty going on, just not in harmony yet. Give this 5-10 years before trying it again.
