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. — 15 hours ago

2022 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Smoky nose. Components actively bouncing around during the visit but thinking they'll settle down and work together a bit better in the next 6 months-1 year. Liked it enough to pick up three cases at $28.43 a btl and will likely shelve it for 12 months to test my theory. 04.02.25. — 3 months ago
