Excellent CdP. Mushrooms/forest floor (not sure what that smells like, but an earthy musty bouquet layered with dark fruits, and charcuterie? On the plate, a point. Not in any danger of folding in next 3 years, but not likely to improve. Anyway, this is not best description, but a superb Southern Rhone.

Typical of the ripe 2007 vintage, rich plum, nutty, great balance so good by itself (with cheese, bread, crackers) but with enough acidity to go well with steak (but loses some prominence). Drink now.

I had it blind and it felt like a 2010 Brunello, didn’t sense the French barnyard anywhere. Medium body, complex and pleasant. It pairs best with fish or chicken.

A wonderful wine worth the $200 I paid at auction. Full of flavor with a bracing tannic finish.
