2007 Roses de Jeanne Rosé de Saignee Le Creux d'Enfer

I thought the 2007 Rosé de Saignée Le Creux d'Enfer would soften with a few years in bottle, but the opposite happened. The fruit has begun to dry out, leaving a sensation of increasing dryness. In retrospect, the hail of 2007 was simply too much to overcome, even for the meticulous Cédric Bouchard. This is a rare wine from Bouchard that has not lived up to my expectations. Frankly, the 2007 was better upon release.
