Reminding me of the 2003， yet with even more polished and sweetness to its tannin， the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois offers a full-bodied， ripe， sexy style to go with pedal-to-the-metal notes of black currants， roasted herbs， licorice and toasted spices. Coming from the La Crau lieu-dit and aged in 30% new barrels and the balance in stainless steel， it’s just now entering its prime drink window and will keep for another 10-15 years.

Evolving beautifully， the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de La Reine des Bois has shed some of its crazy tannin and is showing a more layered， voluptuous profile. Possessing beautiful kirsch， blackberry， candied licorice， flowers and lavender， it offers knockout richness and decadence to go with brilliant purity of fruit， superb concentration， and a full-bodied， layered mouthfeel. While I don’t think it matches the ’01 or ’10， it’s an incredible bottle of wine that can be consumed anytime over the coming 10-15 years. As I wrote in the intro for this domaine last year， Domaine de la Mordoree is a reference point estate for Chateauneuf du Pape. Run by the talented brother duo of Fabrice and Christophe Delorme， with Christophe making the wines， they produce a relatively modern-styled Chateauneuf， as well as more than noteworthy Liracs and Tavels. For this tasting at the domaine (I was also able to taste through this full lineup again， from bottles in the U.S.)， we started with the older vintages and worked toward the more current releases. In addition to their Reine des Bois cuvee， the Delorme brothers also release a special cuvee call the Cuvee de la Plume du Peintre. It’s made only in top vintages， and， as of today， it’s only been made in 2003 and 2005. There’s a scant 150 cases of each. Coming from a plot of 80-year-old vines located in the famed La Crau lieu-dit， the blend has changed between the two releases， as has the elevage.
