As the 2007 Chateauneuf du Papes get closer to arrival
in the late summer I am getting more and more excited (THEY ARE HERE
NOW!). Seldom is there as much anticipation as there is for the arrival of this
magnificent vintage. Parker declares 2007 "the greatest vintage I have
tasted in my thirty years working in that region". Now that
being said, I have taught you to run the other direction, however I have to
agree with just the limited wines I have tasted from a few producers.
They are nothing short of spectacular. I have marveled at the power of these
2007s, and uniformly noted the freshness and intense concentrated fruits,
making this an ideal vintage for aging. These wines have everything you expect
from great Chateauneuf - incredible elegance with full-bodied palates, glorious
noses of roast meats and provincial herbs, subtle notes of truffles, licorice
and spices. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
You won't want to miss this....
