According to winemaker Bruno Gaspard, the summer of 2007 was a lot like 2003-"with the exception that the heat backed off at night, which allowed sugars to rise slowly rather than blasting up. " The result, he believes, "is that the wines have more freshness and the tannins are more harmonious because the skins were perfectly ripe, not like leather. " He describes 2007 as "a mix of the elegance of 2006 and the power but not the muscle of 2005. " While he thinks that it will be very tempting to drink these wines young, "that would be a mistake, because they have superb material and will live for a very long time. "
