More concentrated, dense, and serious, the 2007 Xavier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Anonyme is thrilling on all accounts. A late release and aged almost 48 months in a combination of demi-muid and barrique, it offers up a spectacular array of black currants, smoked duck, licorice, garrigue, pepper, and lavender. This flows to a full-bodied, voluptuous, and multi-dimension 2007 that has fabulous concentration, no hard edges, and ripe, polished tannin that emerge on the finish. It needs another 2-3 years of bottle age, and will have upwards of two decades of total longevity. Knockout stuff!
