A tale of two cities. Bottle #1 had an enjoyable nose of decaying earth, red fruits and with air some darker fruit. One could tell it was a ‘96 given the unresolved tannins and the powerful acid. Mushrooms and darker fruit in the mouth. Bottle #2 unfortunately was DOA.. Very shrill and stewed fruit. — a month ago
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. — 4 months ago
Clear, medium ruby in color. On the nose, it has pronounced primary aromas of raspberries, red plums, and violets. On the palate, it's dry with high acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and medium intensity primary flavors of strawberries, pomegranates, and clay pots with a medium finish. This wine is simple but with balanced fruit and acidity. It may be a little tart for some tastes. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — a month ago
