(NM92-94 points) Tasted in London with Justerini & Brooks. Not in the same league as the 2005, but a very fine wine. More introverted on the nose but well defined with an earthy quality. Baked red cherry, raspberry and cranberry fruit. Good lift. Sensuous on the entry, very smooth and cohesive. Not as complex or as riveting as the ’05, but feminine and gentle on the finish. Drink 2011-2025.

In contrast to the last two wines, here the wood is again very generous though it does not dominate the spicy and dense red pinot fruit that merges into a relatively lush, even opulent flavor profile that is supple and textured with impressive volume and mid-palate fat, all wrapped in a powerful, focused and long finish. This is a comparatively big '07 with plenty of dry extract.
