Medium, medium-plus ruby red – still a shade of cherry at the rim. The nose is diffuse red fruit – but nothing to put a name to. Good concentration in the mouth with furry tannins and licorice black fruit. The palate is much more interesting than the nose.

Medium ruby colour, already turning brick at the rim. The nose is all high toast oak for the first 15 minutes, gradually turning sweet, completely fading after 4-5 hours to reveal cooking dark plum notes. The palate has high acidity and a little tannin. Fruit is of medium intensity, but the acidity, which just avoids coarseness makes for a burst on the finish. Medium length. Very good for the vintage and with a strong hard cheese like Comte, the acidity is perfectly balanced.
