This is certainly starting to come into its drinking window! PNP and decanted and within 30mins this started to be more expressive with a cedar, cigar box and spice. Fans out to a medium finish. Just a little thin not surprising for the vintage.

Fun to drink. My favorite 07 Bordeaux (together with SHL).

Impressive as always! Fruit is very well in balance with secondary aromas, tertiary start to evolve. Long and deep.

醒酒器一个小时,深宝石色,闻香有很淡皮毛味,雪松,可可,黑果混合着香料感,入口酸度中高,酒液咸,清晰的矿物感,单宁紧致,颗粒细腻,浓郁雪松香气,李子的果香,后段胡椒的辛辣和植物微苦,余味是香草味和香料感,酒体有些偏薄,不是一个很强的年份,中后段还没有太好的展现,略紧,尝试进一步醒酒。
两个小时后,香气绽放,口中多了湿树叶,紫罗兰,黑莓,雪松,青椒,石墨味和泥土气息,后段是辛香料味和甘草的回甘,多层次的香气和口感让刚开始酒体偏薄的问题得到了明显的改善,余味漂亮,黑莓,烤面包,奶油,胭脂香料和木质香气,细腻悠长。充分醒酒后状态完美,没有大年份2005这般强劲宏大,但结构精巧,表现完整,各方面很平衡。十分适合现在饮用的年份。

Still young, in a bit of an awkward spot now but still pleasant. Really think it needs 4-5 more years.
