Red fruit. Slight brick on the edge. Closed initially. Two hour decant is required to open it up. Once it does, fruit is lean with smooth tannins. The deficiency of the vintage is obvious, but it is an admirable effort. I regret I already consumed half of my case per-maturely, when they are too green. Time to pop a bottle or two with no hurry.

From mag. Who said the2007 vintage was bad? They didn’t taste it 16 years from inception or 14 years in bottle. Excellent as our first prime rib wine.
2nd night tasting with leftovers. One glass left. It’s dark inky, round, mushy velvety tannins, dark currants, blackberries, blackberries, black plum, dark cherries, plum pudding, strawberry highlighter, dry stones, limestone powder, dark turned earth, soft, fresh & dry tobacco notes, soft lead pencil shavings, wet volcanic ash, moist clay, charcoal, sandalwood, understated dark spice, dark chocolate, just a touch of baking spices, dark & red withering flowers, violets, excellent round acidity and a well knitted structure, balanced fruit & earth, good tension with a long elegant finish that falls on a dry mineral finish lasting 90 seconds.
I always leave an inch to inch and half in the bottle to pour a bit to all at the end. I believe the expression for that is, “The Truth! From the expression, The truth is inside. It doesn’t lie and makes for more extremely concentrated sip(s). You might say it is a lot like monosodium glutamate…everything you tasted in the wine previously, taste more.

I get the reticence expressed by others but I actually rather liked this. Yes, it is not the most ripe example of HB ever, but with a good decant, it opened beautifully to reveal quite a beguiling mixture of cherry and rose flavours over a grainy, earthy, although velvety base. It's true that it's a little pricey now for what you get, and a Poujeaux 96 at half the current price tasted better in comparison, but this HB is still a good wine if you like subtle flavours.

N: fumée, cendres, charbon, réglisse, austère; aucun fruit. B: structure tannique, un certain grain mais beaucoup de verdeur, manque de maturité. Finale poivron vert, typique des millésimes pluvieux. Peu de plaisir, à boire. Me rappelle des millésimes difficiles à l'ancienne, comme 1971 ou 1984.
