Early maturity, but still very youthful, the 2007 rouge has a lovely purple robe, pink rim, and an incredible nose showing red and black currents, roast beef juice, floral elements, brioche, vanilla. Tart yet ripe, very lifted by minerals, endless finish. 97+ but won’t peak for another decade.

Deep Ruby Pronounced aromad and flavors intensity of dark forest fruits, oak-vanilla, tar, eucalyptus, mint, excellent tertiary notes, dry, high acidity, high abv, full body, long aftertaste, dark chocolate, excellent complexity, can drink now - suitable for further aging.

Double decanted for 2 hrs, med. ruby with slight bricking on the rim, dark fruit with a touch of bacon, acidity was a little out of balance, being a touch too prominent, med. tannins, med/long finish; delicious now, & hopefully will come into total balance soon

Dark ruby red in colour. Notes of floral, blackberry, and pepper. Dry, med body, elegant tannins, nice acidity. Great wine. Drinking beautifully right now.

Quite closed, even with 3 hours of decanting. Very pure fruits but still hiding behind a wall of structure and acidity. Did not get much tertiary flavors like smoke or meat, it was mostly red fruit and plum. Gorgeous nose though, this really needs a lot more time in the bottle, try in another 7-10 years.
