Opened the day before with half the bottle remaining. The 2007 CdR Villages pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated dark brambles, red and purple flowers, open pasture land, olives, some black pepper, leather and organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is an impressive wine despite the rather modest designation, especially when you consider it’s nearly 18 years old! Then again, the talent behind this wine should yield a solid wine (Pegau & Cailloux). Drink now though it could easily see its 25th birthday if you must hold one longer. — 8 days ago

Dark fruit, cherry and blackberry, with a hint of fragrant spice. Soft tannins that still have a nice grip. Wonderful lingering finish. — 9 years ago

Syudy material, the nose anticipates a brief sweet finish, other classical elements are present, garrigue, scorched earth and stones etc, hints of green olives, beef jerk and confectionary sugar I know not the best combination but it is what it is in a blind. — 10 years ago

Well balanced classic with crushed black fruit, a bit of forest floor and kiss of smoke. Great depth for a CdR — 8 years ago
