An intensely floral nose of rose petal, violets, distinct herbal notes, plum, Asian spices, soy and very fresh, airy and lilting red berry aromas that are cool and assured and complement to perfection the poised, pure and harmonious middle weight flavors that ooze a very fine minerality and are supported by equally fine tannins on the discreet yet stunningly long finish. This is completely Zen in that the 'wow' factor is the perfect harmony and proportionality of the elements. Is this one of the best RC's ever? No. But is it one of the most impressive from the standpoint of understated grace and class? Absolutely. Note that as I mentioned with the La Tâche, there does not appear to be the usual separation between it and the Romanée-Conti versus the other wines in the range in '07, at least not yet.
Lightening color at the rim. A moderately secondary infused and strikingly elegant nose exhibits a variety of dried floral elements with classic Vosne spice nuances on the mostly red berry aromas. The supple and gorgeously textured flavors possess an abundance of sappy dry extract and excellent persistence on the sleek, refined and beautifully detailed finale. There isn't the unmatched complexity of the finest vintages, but this is a superb '07 that is sufficiently close to its apogee even in the large format bottle that it could reasonably approached now.
