The 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape la Combe des Fous is the more pure

It has a potent honeyed

which is astonishing and has great depth and detail while coming through as light and even ethereal (within its style

On the palate it shows a bit of the more rustic style of the 1970s

There is a gorgeously refined mouth feel to the medium-bodied flavors that possess fine depth as well as nicely integrated tannins on the mouth coating and attractively persistent finish

Armand Rousseau, Clos Roche other_regions The 2007 Châteauneuf du PapeA surprisingly high toned nose of cranberry and raspberry trimmed in a bit of warm earth introduces very forward yet precise flavors that are quite round and supple yet deliver excellent authority and impressive depth on the balanced and lingering finish. This is not a big example or even especially muscular but its harmonious and should age well. (90 93) 2018+
