Pale amber colour though there’s still some redness at the core. Estery and leathery nose that retains sweetness and a high-tone fruit element. Plenty of acidity and a rather slender figure to be sure, but the texture is still good and there is a more-than interesting length. A wine that is still alive and despite the acidity becoming dominant it is interesting and still quite drinkable – provided you keep away from the considerable sediment!

Medium-pale cherry red. The nose is a slightly dense cherry with higher floral tones. The palate has surprisingly full tannins – and they’re a little bitter too. Medium density fruit and fresh acidity. I have to say that this is not very charming, but will be probably be okay if served chilled on a hot summer day.

Pale golden colour. The nose shows a little spent fireworks and candied fruit, more time in the glass increases the fireworks note. In the mouth there is quite nice volume and a lemony acidity which lengthens the finish. Nothing really exciting but clean and tasty – a nice wine.

Medium ruby red with cherry at the rim. A subdued cooked cherry nose with just a trace of caramel. Less sweet than the Givry but good depth of fruit and good acidity too. The smooth tannin is a good buffer. Good.

Medium ruby red. Clean, sweet red berried nose – raspberry, redcurrant and strawberry. Quite full with medium-soft tannins and good acidity. This has a nice style and would be worth leaving a couple of years.

Medium ruby colour, no obvious aging. Nose has forward red and black cherry notes plus some meatiness. Good acidity and still a firm though smooth tannic structure. Reasonably long too. Currently still a baby, I’m not sure if it will gain in complexity though. A very good wine.
