Left to slow-ox for 4 hours. A very different impression compared to last year. This is now tough as nails with an unbalanced acidity. More umpa-umpa than I would have ever believed from a wine of this standing and from 2007. Suggestion: Keep for 3 or so years.
Last btl.

Château Citran 2007 抜栓1時間くらいから起きてきたが、余韻の苦味と酸に違和感が。 上手く熟成しているとは思うが… ピークアウトしているのか?分からん… (色的に、終わってはいないと思うのだか) It started to wake up after about an hour of drinking, but the lingering bitterness and acidity is uncomfortable. I think it's aging well but... is it peaking out? I don't know... (color-wise, I don't think it's finished...)

I was actually (humble pie deservedly in my direction) prepared to pour this Bdx C-team down the drain. Weak vintage and terrible provenance in Citran.
But I was all wrong. This is a very wonderful wine from a vintage where classic Bdx winemaking has prodiced some of the best red Bdx wines in a long time.
I used to feel sad I got two btls of this as bonus from an online auction, but, now I’m quite happy to actually have one btl left for the medium haul.
Wow!
Great Bdx doesn’t have to be expensive :-)

Angenehme Überraschung. Leicht und mit einer gewissen Eleganz. Cassis, Paprika, ein Hauch Mokka. Eigentlich keine unschöne Alterserscheinungen. Kein großer Jahrgang, ok, aber dafür echt respektabel.
