A wide yet understated nose of delicate, lovely fruit and a floral, violet notes. Understated entry but there’s concentration here and it’s great in the mid-palate. The structure is far from dominant and the finish seams rather intense and creamy – really lovely.

This has a narrow but beautifully deep nose. In the mouth it’s about intensity and lovely acidity. Carries itself beautifully this wine.

Medium, medium-plus ruby-red colour. A wine and mineral nose that slowly releases dark cherry fruit, gradually becoming higher toned before giving glimpses of coffee notes. The palate is clean, muscular and intense with really good, fresh acidity. The length doesn’t come close to match some of the previous wines, but it’s a very good finish if just a little oak-driven. A very nice package that needs two or three years before it starts drinking well.

The nose is both wide and deep, powdery red fruit, but very primary. Big and bold of flavour, but the tannins are quite elegant. There is a really intense concentration on the mid-palate that flows into the finish. Very good wine – and worth a couple of bottles in the cellar.

Starts a little cheesy on the nose. Good depth with furry tannins, but the acidity is a little harsh. I’d drink this quite soon, pretty good, but for me no better.
