This is the third release from this difficult vineyard

Medium plus weight

I was quite impressed with this wine and Fichet remarked that he believes it's one of the best wines that he's ever made

Claude Dugat, Gevrey-Chambertin 2005 Napa Valley The 2007 Cecubo is drop-dead0. 5cm; lightly torn labels 91 points Vinous Deep red ruby. Superripe aromas of cherry, raspberry and licorice. Dense, lush and sweet, with superb depth of black raspberry and smoked meat flavor for a village wine. As ripe and rich as this rather massive wine is, sound acidity keeps it from going over the top. Finishes with serious tannins that are currently hidden by the wine's fruit. "It's a vintage that imposes itself," notes Dugat. (ST) (3 2008)
