Big wine on the nose and the stuffing. South Indian spices and floral nose : cumin+cardamom+jasmine. Quite unlike the later vintages in style which I much prefer. Missing mystery and allure.

Nose was deep with dates, sweet wild berries, herbs, and soil. Palate had very good weight and density with dates and dark fruit. Verh nice structure. Cathiard’s heavy handed style certain lifted the weak vintage. After an hour of bottle breathing, the wine opened up beautifully. The fruit was firm and solid with rocky minerality.

NR as no notes and a holiday 'fest atmosphere (loads of drinking going on)... have enjoyed how some of my '07's are drinking these days, but don't remember being 'struck' in any way by this wine... hmmm -- may just be that it was late in the evening... will be interested to see how my last bottle drinks

Excellent showing today, fantastic on the nose and was able to hang in there with more expensive wines today. Doubt that ‘07 Cathiard Malconsorts would be better than this. Years of drinking ahead.

Beautiful nose with bright red fruit, spice, and graphite. Palate had sweet red fruit with medium plus stuffing. Good length. A very good 07 red burg.
