Last bottle from this vintage. Splash decant, drank over 2 hours.
Consistent with prior notes: "Dark purple/red color. Nose of black fruits, vanilla, herbs, savory notes. Palate repeats with tart blackberry, earth, mushrooms, olives. Medium/long finish."
Mellow, smooth texture, a nice Bdx at 13 years old. Probably best over the next few years. Nothing profound but very enjoyable. Great QPR, I paid $24 for this bottle.

Still showing well, picked up more graphite/floral on the nose this time. Blackberry/earth notes still prevalent on the palate. Expressive and elegant, has aged nicely . Great QPR on these bottles, shows Bdx does not need to break the bank.... I don't think the wine improves much more from here, may be at its best over the next 2-3 years

Sadly, this is the last of my '07. I've been buying Pipeau for years and, unlike so many big name wines, this is always better than expected. Wish I had more.

Popped and poured. Dark, black and blue fruit with earth and mushroom accents. As others have said, this is not profound, but is very enjoyable.

No formal notes. Short decant. In a great place, probably will stay in a good range for some time. Very enjoyable.
