Note di degustazione
Full bottle 1,541 g. According to the back label, this was produced from 100-year-old vines grown on 2.15 ha of clay-sandy soil with a limestone and clinker subsoil. Vinification is in four stages starting with microvinification in their special 50-hl double-walled vats . Still quite youthful and very concentrated. I should probably have decanted this. And there is no hurry whatsoever to drink it. Fruit and tannin are in harmony for a rather glorious future. (JR)

Extremely deep, still-purplish crimson. Some evolution at the rim. Intense, pretty extracted for a 2007 but not too tannic. More backward than most 2007 red bordeaux. Spicy and impressive. Atypical of the vintage, (JR)
Blackish ruby. Not that much nose. Round, polished tannins and lots of depth, ripeness and concentration. Like the 2006, it has this char/inkiness quality and wonderful persistence. I would penalise this just for its lack of aroma. But again there is huge ambition. (JR)
A more serious effort, the 2007 La Fleur Morange (70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc) is one of the vintage’s top wines. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of raspberries, incense, Christmas fruitcake, and spice box. Surprisingly full-bodied (13.5% alcohol) with good density and richness, this is a big yet velvety textured wine to drink over the next decade or more.
