The cherry and mineral flavors are enveloped in a cloak of tannins. Shows some spice elements, but this requires time. Has a nice sweet aftertaste. Best from 2009 through 2015. 150 cases imported. — BS (05/2007)
As elegant and fine as the aromatic profile of the Taillepieds is, this is even more elegant with the classic rose petal and mineral-infused nose that gives way to wonderfully transparent, pure and stunning focused middle weight flavors that are linear, vibrant and suffused with that particular limestone and chalk quality of all great Clos des Ducs. This is not the most concentrated example that I have seen of this wine but it is genuinely one of the most refined and elegant, which when you consider that these traits are the Ducster's stock in trade, that's saying something!

Medium red. Red cherry, smoke and underbrush on the rather restrained nose. Rich, broad and dry, with very good lift to the ripe plummy flavor. A large-scaled, deep wine with excellent material, especially in the context of the vintage. Finishes round and suave, with fine tannins. This is 13.8% alcohol. Angerville noted that a green harvest was carried out here to reduce the number of clusters per vine, but that these vines were not hit by hail in August. "Normally, hail storms pass to the east of the village," he told me.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2007)
