Tasting notes
Elegant strawberry and black cherry aromas interwoven with scents of cedar, dried herbs, smoke, and background new oak emerge from this superficial, medium-bodied 2004. It is best consumed during its first decade of life.

Heavy dense red. Scented and complete. A very nice whole with real life and savour! Not for the long-term though. (JR)
Mid crimson. Lively Graves aromas. Fresh and fruity start and then a considerable charge of sandy tannins. Medium weight archetypal claret. Fresh appetising bite on the finish. (JR)
Aromas of sweet tobacco and blackberry. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. A delicate wine, with a lovely texture. Best after 2010. 7,500 cases made. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2007.
