Medium-plus cherry red, no fading. Stewing cherries on the nose – little else. More density and definition than the 2000, still with mouth-watering acidity and little obvious tannin. Certainly not a stunner for the vintage, but very tasty in isolation and should last for a long time.
Medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour. Candied red fruit on the nose, red cherry predominates but it’s quite primary still. The palate is medium concentrated with very good acidity and almost absent tannins. Lovely balance to this wine, it’s sweet and tasty with good but not exciting length. A very worthy and enjoyable villages.
Darker than the 2000 but with a watery rim. The nose also has a black stance, slightly spicy too. Soft on the palate with smooth, sweet and quite dense (for a villages) fruit – yet I have the feeling that there’s a trace of dilution – not sure why. The finish is satisfying and the tannin and acidity are first rate though there’s a trace woody-ness. Certainly drinking now, but much more structure than 2000. A wine that I would buy again.
Just a little deeper coloured than the des Varoilles Gevrey 1er. There’s a little toasty oak but this is very well done as despite the young age, it already provides a good cocoa topping to the dark cherry fruit. The palate without showing great weight manages to produce an intense young fruit profile with well balanced acidity and buried tannins. Starting to close up a little but a wine worth following.
