Tasting notes
Dull blackish purple. Some slightly unripe note. Round, complete with a dry, savoury edge to the nose. Big, tea-like, lots of acidity. Wild, aggressive, terribly young. Dry tannins on the finish. (JR)

Made in a sweet, open-knit, precocious style, Delaforce's 2000 reveals a dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet, accessible black cherry/blackberry fruit with hints of smoke, earth, and truffles. This lush, medium to full-bodied, juicy, succulent effort will last for 15+ years. Importer: Kobrand Corp., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300
Deep, bright purplish crimson. Very lively, vigorous nose even if without great depths. Extremely sweet start and then lots of violet flavours. Rather dry and austere on the finish. Correct but not a whole load of fun. Quite a long finish already though and a little spirity. (JR)
Very floral, with hints of crushed berries. Medium- to full-bodied, medium sweet, with fine tannins and a long, refreshing finish. Pretty. Best after 2008. 6,500 cases made. – James Suckling , Wine Spectator 2003
