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.

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.
