  Lovely! The fruit is still vibrant, but everything is in balance. A Monday evening treat

  Decanted about an hour. Nice on both nose and palate, plenty of fruit, enjoyable for a couple hours.

  Verticale de la cuvée Reine des Bois du Domaine de la Mordorée (À la maison): Magnifique bouche concentrée mais sans excès, c’est gourmand et bien équilibré. Savoureux et profond, de la fraise, c’est délicieux. Finale longue et harmonieuse, avec une pointe saline. Un superbe Châteauneuf. Du très bel ouvrage. 95 pts
  
  Comme je croyais que le vin oxydé était le 2001, j'ai déduit qu'il s'agirait sans doute du 2007....

  7th of 12, opened 90 minutes then splash decanted, perfect cork and level - little changed from last bottle in August 21, youthful robe, fabulous nuanced flavour profile, tannins as yet unresolved well covered by fruit, fine grenache crunch, whiff of garrigue, yardstick quality and authoritative, upside yet, 10+ years. VF (18.5).

  Complex nose of black fruits, blueberries, violets and roasted hazelnuts.
  
  Serene mouth which unfolds a wine with high quality juice. I was expecting structural power but I got a Burgundian style, elegant and intense. Velvety wine, with seductive aromatic depth, we are in the scrubland and the undergrowth before being transported by the spices in a basket of black fruits like raspberry cream. Beautiful acid structure which gives a slender and fresh wine despite its density. Large ferruginous finish which continues over a good length.
  
  Excellent wine, precise and pleasant.
