Nice Bordeaux very quite difficult 07 vintage shows how the prices soared following stunning 05 and very good 06 vintages. The wine is already at the drinking window, would probably last couple of years more. Very good value for discounted price, poor for the original price. The best element of the wine is the finish. Will get a case to my cellar. It will be fun to see how it develops before wines from 09 and 10 vintage are ready to drink.
