Medium, medium-plus cherry-red. The nose soars with red cherry fruit, nice depth too. Fresh, forward acidity that provides a lift to the finish – nicely mouthwatering. A trace of tartness to the fruit, but chilled, this will be lovely summer drinking. Pure and fresh, only the acidity closely avoids rusticity but it’s got a super nose.
Clear medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour. The wide nose starts with a hint of barrel-spice and high-toned cherry fruit. Fresh acidity brings sour-cherry fruit to the fore – fruit that has good intensity in the mid-palate and enough sweetness. Well-textured tannin shows just an edge of dryness. I enjoyed it very much, in fact it just hints at a raisiny edge to the finish which could further develop, but this will most likely remain a little on the tart side – a world away from many 2003’s. At this price I bought a couple more.
