Do. de Beaurenard Chateauneuf du Pape 2007

2007 Southern Rhone is a vintage with divided opinion.  On the one hand, Robert Parker described this as “the vintage of a lifetime” and “this is a truly historic and profoundly great vintage”.  On the other hand, New York Times’ Eric Asimov thinking the vintage as too fruit-forward and lacking ageing potential.  The same opinion is also shared by Decanter Panel Tasting in its 2010 Jan Issue thinking the temperature Buy Brand Levitra Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed is too high for 2007 and the wine lacks acidity.

This Chateauneuf du Pape is produced by Dom. De Beaurenard.  It is produced using 70% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvedre.

The Buy cialis online Buy Lasix Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed wine didn’t got an intense nose with flavours mainly of sweet spices and red fruits.  Medium bodied and with medium level of very fine-grained and ripe tannins.  As what Eric Asimov and Decanter described, this wine is very fruit-forward with flavours mainly of sour cherry.  While it has good intensity, I think it is a bit weak in its mid-palate.  Seems like this wine really lacks ageing potential.
