Critic tasting note: "Medium bodied, with a strong, earthy, barnyard note that would be more at home in Chateauneuf du Pape, than in Bordeaux, you also find notes of tobacco and forest aromatics and some red fruits, this is ready to drink as most of the tannins are long gone. The lean finish is a bit clipped, so this is probably better suited for near term drinking, than for any further development." - 85/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

- Vintage Notes
-
A swift beginning of vegetation due to an exceptionally hot April. Precocious flowering although spread over time and disturbed by rain and a cold end of May. The cool and unstable summer until the end of August prevented a sufficient water scarcity and thus a great vintage in red wines. September and October were very dry (sufficient maturity to produce a very decent vintage).

When to drink: 2011 to 2032
2007 Vintage
Tasted: Sep 2017
Medium bodied, with a strong, earthy, barnyard note that would be more at home in Chateauneuf du Pape, than in Bordeaux, you also find notes of tobacco and forest aromatics and some red fruits, this is ready to drink as most of the tannins are long gone. The lean finish is a bit clipped, so this is probably better suited for near term drinking, than for any further development.

Superbe Flasche, zeigt Rasse, Eleganz, Frische, Dichte, Länge, die Tannine sind erstklassig, das Ganze komplex, mit Schliff und Tiefe.

Tasted: Jan 2010
With a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a structured wine, the freshness coming from intense blackberries. Spice and bitter coffee flavors mingle with the tannins, promising some good aging for the vintage.
2007 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2009
Relatively deep colour. Fresh reducrrant-like fruit on the nose. Lovely mouthfeel with silky, well-integrated tannins, already displaying great expression and length. A traditional Gruaud-Larose and a textbook example of Saint-Julien !
2007 Vintage
Tasted: May 2008
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, jugendliche Reflexe, violetter Rand. In der Nase intensive Schokonote, mit etwas Dörrobst unterlegt, Nuancen von Orangenzesten, Gewürznelken. Am Gaumen elegant, saftige Zwetschkenfrucht, gut integrierte Tannine, feine Kirschenfrucht, bereits sehr zugänglich, bereitet einiges Trinkvergnügen.
2007 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2008
(2008) More oak here, with toast and char, and trademark gamy, slightly sauvage quality as well as copious black fruit. Oak is quite powerful and resinous on the palate, but that juicy fruit core powers through. Good energy here, and through it lacks a little polish quite complex and expressive.
