A full-bodied, flamboyant version of this benchmark bottling, the 2007 verges on too much, with lush tropical fruit framed by smoky notes and finishing spicy and slightly warm. Unlikely to have the longevity of the 2008, it’s a bold, extroverted Chard ideal for drinking over the next year or two. ——J.C.(4/1/2011)—— 90
