a beautiful middleweight in the making, with the intense red fruit of the vintage and the great elegance in florid display, as the wine jumps from the glass in a blaze of cherries, blood orange, vinesmoke, violets, Vosne spices and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full, very pure and very transparent in this vintage, with a solid core of fruit, tangy acids, lovely focus and fine length and grip on the moderately tannic and very pure finish. A lovely bottle. (Drink between 2013-2040) John Gilman, A View from the Cellar

Fresh bright red fruit. Very light and defined with some spice and some tangy sourness. Vivid and slightly confected at the edges. Pretty and there’s life ahead.

In a really nice place now--already showing nice secondary notes. I like '07s in general more than some, and this would change many minds about the vintage.

Another really beautiful 07, with great aromatics and a very elegant palate. Very enjoyable now though young.

Pale color for the young age. Deep regardless on the nose and palate.

You know, I’d never spend the money to purchase this, but this is as good as Pinot Noir gets.
