Bright ruby. Enticing nose of cherry, red berries over soft spicy notes. Light to medium body, delicate ripe tannins, tight acidity. It drinks easily and quite pleasantly right now.
Opens with dark, developed fruit on the nose with a lick of liquorice, together with background mushroom and barnyard aromas. Primary blackberry fruit on the palate is less forward than the nose suggests. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and appetizing acidity, it finishes with ample fruit, dark chocolate and firm tannic grip.
Dense purple in colour (that speaks to a warm year); spicy, cedary nose of red berries and vanilla oak; medium-bodied, dry, juicy red and blackcurrant flavours held in check by a firm tannic structure.
Bright ruby. Clean nose of red berries, touches of oak and spice. Crunchy fruit on the palate with notes of fruit stones. Half-bodied, well-balanced with soft drying tannins. Ready to drink.
Seductive spicy strawberry and raspberry scents lead the way for lightly sweet ripe berry flavours on the palate. Acidity and tannins are in harmonious balance, finishing with lingering ripe red fruit. Ripe flavours characteristic of this warm vintage has created an almost New World style.
From a top vintage comes this medium plus body red. Deep ruby/violet colour and linear in structure, it serves up a melange of cassis, violets, tobacco, black pepper, oregano and hints of vanilla. There is excellent length as well as fine-grained tannins which will ensure another 5 years of life ahead.
Dark ruby, purple rim. Blackberries and a complex mix of spices, earthiness and minerality. Dense on the palate, the sandy tannins are very present and dominate the imposant fruity extract. Compact finish, aging potential of 10 years.
