This is perhaps a bit more elegant than usual it's certainly more elegant than either the 2005 or the 2006 versions and reminds me a bit of the 2001 aromatically. An expressive nose of red berry fruit earth and a hint of spice merges into cool precise and vibrant medium full-bodied flavors that are supported by firm but ripe tannins on the linear long and palate coating finish. This is really a lovely '07 with good muscle and solid mid-palate concentration.

The 2007 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux displays ripe plum and blackberry underlain by rich meat stock and accented with leather and cinnamon. A palpable sense of extract and fine-grained tannins as well as fresh fruit vivacity lead me to expect greater aging potential here than from most wines of its vintage and pedigree and further depth may emerge over the next 8-10 years.
