A touch of menthol is present on the broad-ranging nose that offers up notes of herbal tea, spice, dried cherries and discreet floral nuances. Like the 2008 the middle weight flavors possess a silky mouth feel though unlike the 2008 there isn't the same density and palate coating sappiness though on the plus side there is ample minerality and outstanding length on the balanced and highly complex finale. This is one of the few younger vintages of La Romanée that could reasonably be approached now with real pleasure though for my taste I would recommend holding this for a few more years first. Lovely stuff.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 La Romanée Grand Cru is in keeping with the vintage, very open for business with plush strawberries, red cherries and rose petals. It is not the most complex aromatics that Louis-Michel has overseen but it is utterly charming. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine tannin, very pure red cherry and cranberry fruit, a dash of orange sorbet and plenty of mineral notes on the tensile finish. I would actually broach this now to revel in its youth and joie-de-vivre but it clearly has the substance to last two decades. I'll leave it to you. (NM)

The 2007 La Romanée from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is starting to really drink beautifully at age twelve, wafting from the glass in a glorious aromatic blend of raspberries, beetroot, blood orange, exotic spice tones, kaleidoscopic minerality, fresh nutmeg, roses, a touch of lavender and spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, tangy and nicely sappy at the core, with great focus and grip, lovely acids and a very, very long, complex and meltingly tannic finish. This is one vintage of La Romanée that it is emphatically not a crime to be drinking in its relative youth!
