2007 Red Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Putting my nose in the glass of the 2007 El Puntido Gran Reserva transported me to the classical Riojas from yesteryear. The wine has a fully developed nose with all the textbook descriptors of a good aged Rioja—forest...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Following the appreciation of the 2007 vintage from María José López de Heredia, the red 2007 Viña Tondonia Reserva is showing great, revealing unusual finesse and elegance. The nose is a little reticent but nuanced and...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A stunning vintage of this Rioja classic. Ripe and concentrated, yet cool and delicate with tons of fine tannin. Lots of earthy, autumnal Burgundy-like nuances, as well as notes of violets and plums. Long, complete...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: A small vineyard cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare has fashioned a blend of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. As usual, the 2007 Clos Les Lunelles is the most concentrated and biggest wine...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Very little wine is produced (about 400 cases) from this tiny 5-acre vineyard but it is always among the most concentrated and richest of Bordeaux. The inky/purple-colored 2007 offers sweet cassis fruit notes interwoven...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: I tasted some beautiful Barbarescos before this sample, but the power and the vigor of the Barolo appellation comes through with undeniable clarity here. The 2007 Barolo Riserva Campè Vürsù (Magnum) is a wine of muscle...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The previous vintages of the wine immediately preceding this one are 2003 and 2000. Jump forward in time, and the 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva will linger on the market for a while because the estate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: The two special cuvees are both as good as wine can get. The 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape la Combe des Fous is the more pure, elegant and seamless of the two, but it’s still a huge wine that has overflowing notions of smoked...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Pretty cherry and strawberry aromas and flavors are accented by spice from the oak in this silky red, which has plenty of tannins for support, with bright acidity that keeps it all lively and persistent through the...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2007 Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chambertin showcases the greatness of Burgundy. The Chambertin is delicate and refined, but offers sneaky concentration to the almost weightless flavors of minerally red berries and...

Vinous, 93 points: Good full ruby-red. Pungent aromas of kirsch, plum, minerals, coffee, mocha and smoky oak. Rich, plush and sweet but not heavy; in fact, this dense and highly concentrated wine's energy comes as a surprise in light of its...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This Petrus is solid for the vintage with bright and pretty fruit. It’s full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a berry, Indian spice, and cinnamon character. Long and intense. Better than most may believe. Still needs some...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Shirvington’s 2007 Shiraz spent 14 months in 80% new, mostly American oak. It displays an excellent nose of cigar box, lavender, cocoa, black cherry, and blueberry. This leads to a full-bodied, dense, structured Shiraz...
