"The 2007 Clos de la Maréchale is really a lovely wine that is now quite approachable (like so many top examples from this vintage), but still has a bit of ripe tannin to resolve on the backend and will be happiest resting comfortably in the cellar for another three or four years. The bouquet is superb, delivering a complex aromatic constellation of red and black cherries, nutskin, gamebirds, a superb base of soil tones, incipient notes of summer truffles and a dollop of fresh thyme in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and quite soil-driven in personality, with a lovely core of fruit, bright acids, lovely focus and balance and a long, moderately tannic and very refined finish. A lovely wine in the making, but give it a few more years to fully blossom."
