Tasting notes
Medium red. Slightly liqueur-like aromas of cherry, raspberry and spices. Supple, sweet and rather open-knit, but with no shortage of energy. Red fruit and spice flavors are quite sensual today but should gain in refinement with bottle aging. Finishes with good menthol reserve and a fine dustng of tannins.

Gorgeously fragrant. Sweetly scented red fruit with the merest hint of vanilla sweetness. Then dry and all wound up on the palate, the perfume held captive for now by the structure, with each sip leaving you wanting the next. The persistence and balance promise a long future, much longer than many village wines in this vintage. (JH)
Good bright red. Aromas of blackberry, violet and bitter chocolate. Juicy, strong dark fruit flavors are nicely framed by sound acidity and firm tannic spine. Less creamy and red-fruity than usual for this village wine, showing a slight herbal dryness and a youthfully tight character.
