Gilles Barge Cote Rotie Le Combard 2007
Tasting Note
'The 2007 Le Combard is another very good example of this ripe vintage and it does show more ripe fruit character on the nose than the 2012 version, but also a very good underpinning of soil tones and spice. The bouquet delivers a mixture of pepper, cassis, roasted game, coffee, nutskin, scorched earth and a bit of savory elements in the upper register from the whole clusters. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still fairly closed in personality, with a good core, ripe tannins and a long, slightly angular finish. This still needs some bottle age to blossom and will not drink much ahead of the 2012 version, as it is not as suavely balanced as that vintage. Good juice.'
