🏰 The 2007 vintage was outstanding for Rhône Valley reds, producing wines that were riper and creamier than most vintages, yet still retained decent acidity. Château La Nerthe's Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007, certified organic since 1998, is known for its deep and rich currant aromas, surprisingly lively on the tongue, and lighter than one might expect. Spices dominate the palate, underpinned by a modest earthy character, finishing with notes of pepper and leather. It opens with ripe, dark berries, jam, smoke, vanilla, fresh herbs, and pepper, offering a round, plush profile filled with sweet, juicy berries. Critics note its classy notes of crème de cassis, sweet black fruits, garrigue, creamy liquorice, and spice box, presenting a medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced, silky, refined, and elegant profile. 【 Certified organic in 1998, offering a forward, modern style with ripe, dark berries and jam. 】 🥂 This wine is already delicious and can be enjoyed now, with a drinking window extending over the next 10-12 years.
