Medium-plus golden – certainly a worrying colour for one so young. The nose confirms quite a high level of oxidation. For me (with a significant dislike of oxidation) this was barely drinkable. If you have this wine check it now – urgently!
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.
Medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour. Slightly toast on the warm, sweet red nose. The palate shows an oaky toasty base – but it’s well done – it’s additive to the flavour rather than the texture. Sweet with good acidity and a nice burst on the finish. Good fruit. Needs longer for the oak to better integrate but it’s already very drinkable – tasty!
