Palate
The tannins have expanded, overtaking the fruit flavors that dominated, early. The inverse of our 2006, the 2007 needs at least two or three more years to age before it is ready to show its best. The wine is massive, with brooding, black-fruit flavors, Italian herb notes and bold tannins. It is not uncommon for many of the great Bordeaux wines of France to “go to sleep” for a period before re-emerging like butterflies, and we are confident our 2007 will be our best wine once it has fully matured. If you wish to sample a bottle, we recommend you decant the wine for several hours.
Food Pairing
Serve it with a hearty meat that can stand up to the boldness of its character.
