2007 Chateau Providence, Pomerol (Magnum)
Made in a masculine, virile, full-bodied style with lots of density and power, the 2007 Providence is atypical for this vintage. Stylistically, it leans toward a style similar to the famed Chateau Trotanoy. Meaty black currant, earth, and forest floor characteristics combined with pure fruit and considerable structure make for a wine that requires several years of cellaring. It should evolve for 10-15 years.

Vinous
Deep ruby-red. Blackberry and camphor on the reserved nose. Sweet but youthfully unforthcoming, with slightly reduced flavors of black fruits, licorice and bitter chocolate. I picked up a light vegetility but the finish turns silkier, without any loss of shape.
