Closed at first, after 4 hrs waves of menthol, mint, jalapeño and cardamom jumped out of the glass. Off-year still delivered

Alway’s special when you uncorked VCC. Not the best vintage, but now fantastic drinking.

One would think for a small vintage like 2007 this would be open now. Well its not. We decanted two hours before, which helped. Its a very classical VCC with all the tell tale Pomerol stuff in spades. Would wait another 3 to 5 years. Great stuff.

A very dense but elegant, weightless wine, lavender, mint, spices and black fruit, all with the most civilized tannins you will find on the right bank. Enthusiastically recommended !

Too much green pepper elements for me and not a vintage I’d buy again. Love other vintages

2007 - still a good wine but could be better on the depth and complexity.
