". . . both are sensational vintages for the Maret family. The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape les Hautes Brusquières Cuvee Speciale (a 60/40 split of Grenache and Syrah) is a big, massive wine that has an exotic edge to its black raspberry, orange blossom, licorice, spice box and garrigue-driven aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, polished and seamless on the palate, with that perfectly ripe tannin quality that's rare to find outside of the 2007 vintage, this beautiful Chateauneuf du Pape . . ."
