Opened several hours prior to service, the 2007 pours a deep, ruby/purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated bramble berries, strawberry, dried red flowers, garrigue, anise, leather, dried herbs and stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is anything but tired and far from overblown. I’ve been surprised by a number of 2007 CdP’s lately. They have showed better balance than I expected and this one is wonderfully balanced. Drink now through 2037. — a month ago

Maybe it’s the warm, softer-acid vintage of 2011, Grenache’s red-fruit freshness has faded. Subdued raspberry, dried cherry and fig give way to savory tones of leather, steeped red tea, subtle anise and lavender. The palate is broad and soft-textured, with resolving tannins and soft round acidity, favoring warmth over lift. Dried herbs, tea leaves, and gentle spice on the medium finish.
Quite complex and enjoyable, though I expected a bit more. — 2 days ago
Powdery that turns to creamy and quickly leaves cherry with a nice dry finish. Dark in color and complex in taste. Slight brine with an astringent aftertaste — a month ago

Bright and quite alcoholic. Very pretty and lifted. Bright cherry and classic rayas purity. Lovely balance. Still young. Excellent — 17 days ago
