Wednesday, August 15, 2018 - Beef and Vosne (Holland Park): Last magnum of the night, this was very good. The nose was clearly different from the Vosne wines, with an earthier, loamier tone, and deeper shades to its sweet blueberry and gentle spice notes. The palate was really nice too, with crunchy, pure flavours of blueberries, coconut and spice lined with notes of mineral, then fine-boned tannins and really fresh acidity. This had lovely definition and a good amount of depth for a 2007 - the only issue I had was that the flavours all seemed just a bit tightly-wound and not as generous as I would have liked. Not a world beater then, but still a very good wine. I thought it had just started falling asleep, like quite a few 2007s I have tried recently. It would be interesting to try this one again in a decade or so.
