Kracher and Roumier Dinner with Gerhard Kracher (Brasserie Margeaux - Chicago IL): Opened almost an hour before serving and decanted. So much red fruit on nose and spice hints coming through that kept hiding and re-emerging over the course of the evening. Powerful on palate, even if slightly less forthcoming vs nose, while simultaneously graceful and near weightless. So much great potential, this is the rare 2007 that deserves more time. Certainly 95+ point potential.

Sizable, rich and dense. Young succulent wine, touch of VA. Needs time

PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Fruit” day): Pale ruby to the eyes.
Red dates and prunes. Then, wild red berry fruits at the second layer. Very complex medicinal, floral and spices.
More silky tannic than the other vintages but still clearly up there with the greats.
95-96 points.

Floral aromatics with some sousbois. Surprised at degree of secondary development here.

Closed and currently somewhat rustic, this still has good potential. Some tannin and rough edges here that will be rounded with more time. 94+
