The 2007 Eloge is a profoundly complex extraordinary wine that is showing better out of bottle than it ever did from barrel. The final blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon 25% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot and Merlot reveals an inky/purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of graphite creme de cassis cedarwood Christmas fruitcake bay leaf and a damp forest floor-like character. It possesses sensational depth a full-bodied opulence admirable purity and a skyscraper-like texture and finish. This killer wine has not yet closed down and it should drink well for 20-25 years.
