Medium cherry-red. A nose of red fruits, a shade of something green and a little caramel on standing. The palate has racy acidity, medium tannin but comes across as a little harsh and woody – perhaps the tannins have a bit of green about them. Good enough to drink but disappointing in the context of the ‘average’ 2002.
Pale gold colour. The nose is round and a little more exotic than the 2002. The palate shows just a little more balance and texture but without quite the same power and fat of the 2002. I prefer this by a short-nose. There’s that slightly nutty Meursault thing starting to happen vs the more primary fruit of the ’02. Good length. I prefer the texture and balance of this wine, but prefer the fruit of the ’02 – such is life – still a good wine.
Very pale colour with an understated nose of faint oak and melony notes. Really good acidity and a little fat too. The fruit is quite high toned and supported by a slightly grainy base of oak that intrudes slightly onto the quite long, aniseed finish. The oak will of course fade to leave a well made and interesting wine, but it’s not so exciting at this tender age.
