The bouquet is very deep, very pure and very primary, delivering scents of plums, black cherries, cocoa... On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and sappy, with a fine core, lovely focus and balance... This wine will be excellent... John Gilman, A View from the Cellar

from 375 - giving up very little at first. A brawny broad shouldered dark fruited musky beast that still maintains a feminine quality (somehow) on the nose with a bit of oak poking through. Black and red fruits on the palate with musk, dirt, and black tea. Long finish and persistence across the entire palate. Just barely coming out of its baby primary flavors, I would give this particular 07 a few more years.

Another great 2007! Along with the Malconsort, the best rendering of Dujac's line-up.
