Despite some odd weather, the 2007 vintage was largely a success throughout the wine world – with the exception of dry Bordeaux. There should be a wide range of wines, particularly reds, from various regions around the world still drinking well now with the best likely to cellar for some years more.
Our Wine Expert currently recommends the following wines for this year:
This Year in History: Fun Fact: Steve Jobs announced Apple’s very first smartphone, the iPhone 1!
Eurovision Winner: Serbia with the song "Militva" by Marija Serifovic
Top Grossing Movie: Pirates of the Carribean: At the World's End
Bordeaux: The finest 2007 wines tend to be dark ruby-coloured with purple highlights, sweet, ripe berry fruit similar to black cherries and black currants, medium body, silky tannins, low acidity, and pure, round, charming personalities with good equilibrium. By and large, however, the wines lack density, structure, and serious long-term ageing potential. Most will be drinkable as soon as they are bottled, and should age surprisingly well for 10-15 years. Truthfully, most consumers will probably love the style of the vintage’s top wines because they are so flattering, seductive, and fruit-forward.
Portugal: The 2007 Port vintage was the first widely declared vintage since 2003; virtually every Port house that matters made a Vintage Port, attesting to the quality of the year. The growing season was preceded by a wet winter, which put plenty of moisture back into the soil after a lengthy period of dry conditions. Summer temperatures were relatively mild (unlike the torrid conditions in 2003, the last previous declared vintage). September and October weather was close to ideal so that the grapes enjoyed a lengthy hang-time under excellent conditions with full ripening of Turiga Francesa and Turiga Nacional, the two most important grape varieties. The quantities produced are small, so there is a high demand for them. There is little doubt that 2007 is a high class vintage.

Vintage Port
Warre’s 2007 Vintage Port
From one of the most historic and distinguished houses in the Douro, Warre’s 2007 Vintage Port is a superb expression of a truly exceptional year. The 2007 harvest produced grapes of remarkable balance and intensity, yielding a Port that combines depth, elegance, and outstanding ageing potential. Crafted with the precision and tradition that define Warre’s, this wine reflects both the character of the vintage and the timeless style of the house.
In the glass, it shows a deep purple-black hue, still remarkably youthful after more than fifteen years. The nose bursts with ripe blackberry, cassis, and plum, lifted by notes of violet, cedar, and sweet spice. …

Churchill's Port, 2007
Vintage Port, Douro
***90 Points- Wine Advocate***
Coffee, lavender and rose add complexity to the intense blackberry nose; on the palate the Churchill is a bold and powerful wine with the floral notes continuing through to the marmalade spiked bramble fruit. Fresh acidity and grippy tannins give massive structure - this is a wine for the long term.

96/100 (Outstanding) Wine journal
94/100 (Outstanding) Wine Advocate
Reviews: "The 2007 Fonseca Vintage Port is opaque purple-colored with a high-class perfume of lavender, Asian spices, pencil lead, incense, and an amalgam of black fruits. On the palate it is voluminous with layered, succulent fruit, outstanding density, and excellent integration of tannin, acidity, and alcohol. The long finish and the wine’s impeccable balance suggest a lengthy evolution and a drinking window extending out to 2045. " Jay Miller, Wine Advocate.
"The nose is quintessential Fonseca, like a riotous party reaching its crescendo in the glass. …
