N: Now that’s the best jolly rancher I’ve huffed.Candied strawberry goodness. A little bit of mysterious wooddiness *around the edges.
P: Bright, terrific acidity, popin’ red fruits, just slightly herbal. A great match for the saltiness of baked ham. Glou-Glou indeed.

No formal notes . Pretty deep Amber , copper colour . Intense marmalade , saffron , creme caramel . Rich on the palate with rich marmalade , saffron notes . Good acidity , but rich. Good length . This is drinkable now and shows quite an advanced colour , though due to its richness will probably carry on delivering for another 20 years , perhaps longer .

This was a rather fascinating evening put together by our incredibly generous host. All 2007 reds were served blind in two flights: 1st Mouton, Haut Brion, Cheval Blanc , La Mission Haut Brion then Latour , Lafite , Petrus and Margaux . Overall the wines showed well , and were mostly enjoyable to drink now , though there is no rush . This somewhat maligned vintage can give a lot of enjoyment in the right environment, I certainly wouldn’t hold back from opening or purchasing any of these wines . They mostly show good density of fruit , personality and elegance , with good freshness. These are not powerful wines , and at times perhaps the fruit can be a little cooler or greener but I was pleasantly surprised by the way they performed , just goes to show you should never write off a vintage without trying the wines ! — 5 months ago

Hazy purple glou-glou! Watermelon Jolly Rancher was the primary flavor, along with some strawberry, cherry, pomegranate, and just a hint of orange peel. A well-made wine that is easy to enjoy chilled or not. 100% Valdiguié. 3/12/23. — 3 years ago
