The 2006 vintage in Bordeaux was a good year but had extremely variable weather throughout the year with a very cold winter, a dry spring and a scorching July. September was very wet which hampered the harvest. Cabernet Sauvignon based wines were most successful. A vintage for drinkable wines to be consumed in the long term. 2006 was a very good vintage for Red and White Burgundy. It was an outstanding vintage in the North and South of the Cote du Rhone. In Portugal, no vintage ports were made. The Champagne region also produced some good Champagne which is drinking beautifully. It was also an outstanding vintage in Italy for red wines.

From the very good 2006 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker points "The 2006 Shiraz/Viognier (6%) is a crowd pleaser. Dark ruby-colored, aromatically the nose receives uplift from the Viognier component. Aromas of smoke, plum and blueberry are enticing and lead to a full-bodied wine with a smooth texture, ripe flavors with depth, and a long finish. This hedonistic effort can be enjoyed now but will blossom with another 1-2 years of bottle age." Drink now - 2033. A wonderful 18th vintage wine gift for a 2006 anniversary.

The 2007 vintage in Bordeaux was a good year with the warmest April for 50 years followed by a very dull May and summer. Growers became very concerned until 60 days of unbroken sunshine in late summer saved the harvest.

Scoring 90/100 Parker points and from the very good 2007 vintage "Enticing scents of chocolate, espresso, dark fruit, licorice and new leather emerge from the boisterous 2007 Palazzo della Torre. The fruit is sumptuous as always, but in 2007 Palazzo della Torre is not quite as approachable upon release as it usually is. Another year or two in bottle should help smooth some of the slightly rough edges that are present today. There is enough balance and elegance in the finish to suggest this will drink well for a number of years. Palazzo della Torre is made from 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Sangiovese, all traditional Veneto grapes. Approximately 30% of the fruit is air-dried, Amarone-style. The fermenting juice from those grapes is added to the rest of the juice to give the wine an extra dimension of richness and body." Drink now - 2032.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, 'I’ve always loved the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Paul Versino, and it has drunk well since release. Full-bodied, rich and mouth-filling, with some still-present tannin, it has a core of sweet, ripe cherry fruit, licorice, sweaty saddle leather and garrigue. At the end of the day, I think the tannin will win the battle with the fruit, but this beauty has loads of Provencal charm and will continue drinking nicely for 4-5 years, if not longer."

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker Points, "As for the equally deep ruby/purple-colored 2007 Seguret Grande Reserve, this wine has much more licorice and more depth and body, but displays a similar aromatic and flavor profile. It is broad, expansive, and voluptuously textured, with stunning depth and richness. This is about as good as Seguret can be and actually competes with wines that are much more costly. Drink it over the next 7-10 years.." Drink now - 2033.

From the very good 2007 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker points, "The purple/black-colored 2007 Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port exhibits an alluring bouquet of mineral, pencil lead, espresso, violets, black currant, and fruitcake. Dense and structured on the palate, it has an excellent integration of alcohol, acidity, and tannin. It should be one of the longer lived wines of the vintage with 12-15+ years of aging potential and a drinking window extending through 2037." Drink now - 2040.

From the very good 2007 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points from Wine Spectator: "The 2007 Croft Vintage has a soft, fig and date-scented bouquet that opens up beautifully in the glass, warm and inviting. The palate is medium-bodied with soft, supple tannin, a fine line of acidity and a ripe finish with dark cherries, boysenberry jam and a citric edge lending poise and delineation. There is a nice hint of fieriness on the finish that gives it a little hubris and brio, though not excessively, since that would not be in keeping with Croft’s style. Drink now - 2043.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage, and scoring 95/100 Parker points,"This cuvée is only bottled in top vintages. Since there is no 2016, and it's undecided if the 2017 will be bottled separately,Laure Colombo graciously opened the 2007 Cornas Vallon de l'Aigle, the very first vintage bottled. This full-bodied beauty is meaty, savory and rich, marked by ripe, plummy fruit and mocha shadings, while the finish is velvety and long, loaded with umami and spice." Drink now - 2032.
