I haven't really started drinking my '07's in earnest, despite a fairly wide collection in my cellar (at all price points and styles). What, if anything, has been your impression of the '07's through the years? LOL!!!!!! Thanks for the kinds words. Regarding 2007 CdP, my experience has been mixed. Some reach the pinnacle (2007 Clos des Papes) while others have devolved into an alcoholic, over-ripe fruit mess (which leads to a TON of Parker bashing). The best retain a freshness and integrity of fruit that is special, but the inconsistency is troubling.

To my mind these wines have an immense drinking window. They are delicious from bottling and could last easily thirty years. So drink one now, see how you like it and then decide when to open the next one. Cheers, happy new year!
