2007 Red Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2007 Poesia has a more pastille-like bouquet with vivacious small dark cherries, blueberry and a touch of boysenberry that exudes more minerality than previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied and very elegant...

Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: Another successful Marinus from this small Monterey County appellation. Made from all five classic Bordeaux varieties, it's dry and rich in blackberries, black currants, crème de cassis and cedar, and is more rough in...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: A powerful and rich red with blackberry milk chocolate and cherry character. Full and soft. Best from 2011 through 2016. 3900 cases made. -JS

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: A big and powerful wine, with tannins that are compact and dense. The dryness of the tannins go right to the core, surrounded by chocolate, sweet fruit and dark berry flavors. The wine is well structured, big and bold...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: Ripe dark plum and cherry with a hint of licorice on the nose of the Raphet 2007 Chambertin Clos de Beze follow on a palate firmer and less alluring than that of the corresponding 2008, a sort of role reversal for which...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: (tempranillo, merlot and cabernet sauvignon): Ruby-red. Aromas of dried cherry, raspberry, vanilla, mocha and Cuban tobacco, with smoke and potpourri accents. Supple and expansive, offering sweet, spice-accented red and...

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...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Starts off with a bacon, meat character and then blows open to flowers and dark fruits. Wild. Full and very firm, with racy and polished tannins and a beautiful finish. Balance and juicy, with a bright refreshing acidity...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2007 Chateau Musar, the flagship estate red, is the typical, roughly equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault, aged for 12 months in French oak. Adding a much needed layer of concentration to the...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: Shows blackberry, fresh mushroom and Indian spices on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, glorious finish. Well-crafted as usual. Best after 2013. 3,585 cases made. –JS

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Voerzio's 2007 Barolo Cerequio is a wonderful counter to the virile imposing Brunate. Sweet red fruit flowers and menthol are woven into a nuanced textured fabric of notable class and elegance. The Cerequio possesses...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: A blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, the 2007 Alzero is an Amarone-inspired red blend. The two Cabernet varieties undergo a three-month appassimento process and the Merlot is added at the...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH91-93 points) Mild reduction detracts from the nose though it does not carry over to the suave, round and silky flavors that are bigger and more powerful compared to those of the Echézeaux and the texture is...
