The nose is a little spicy over an understatedly savoury depth. More wood tannin (this will soften), very

good balance and the first wine that shows an additional burst of complexity as move into the finish.

The aromas are a little tight, but at it’s centre is a super core of red/black fruit. Wide, with velvety

tannin and excellent acidity. The fruit chases the acidity into the finish while the tannin clings to the

inside of your mouth. This will require some cellar time but has all the components to be a wonderful

bottle down the line…

A deep and dark nose that slowly widens to show some mineral aspects. Ripe fruit provides sweetness and the

tannin starts on a slightly lower level to previous wines before reaching a crescendo in the mid-palate.

The flavours slowly fade. This is a very nice wine but will keep no problem.

Whilst very ripe and showing plenty of dried fruit aromatics, this is not obviously a 2003. The colour

shows a young cherry-red. Silky with ripe, sweet fruit and plenty of freshness. This is lovely and I’m

very impressed, particularly with the length. Real distinction here.

Deeper aromatics of ripe cherry conserve with a darker edge. Silky, the structure is more hidden but the

flavours just pour througfh the middle of the wine into the mid-palate and on into the finish. Super

balance here. Anne suggest a great pairing with roast meats.

Depth of fruit that’s turning quite savoury and meaty. “Was serious and tannic when young – it’s much

better now than 2-3 years ago” says Anne. Now you see the reverse; the tannins are now in the background

and the foreground is full of super fruit.

Narrower aromatics, but super fruit which is ripe but not too ripe. Mouthfilling, again with ripe fruit

that is set against background tannins that still try and cling to your teeth. Very good acidity (not

acidified) and some mineral hints. Really fine for the vintage.

Again a deep ruby with no fading. The nose is very meaty and starts just a little reduced – with time red fruit comes through and griottes too. The palate is fat with very good tannins and good acidity. The finish is medium plus length. Today I’d rather drink the Argillières but long term this Epenots could be the favourite. Very good.
