Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose has a little depth and intensity, faint herbs and, as the glass drains, lovely piercing red berries – mmmm… It starts a little strident, but 30 minutes from opening there’s a real extra fatness and super acidity that dovetails to a decent villages intensity. Subtly long. A wine that ‘gives’ a lot – yum!
Medium cherry-red colour. The nose starts with just a twist of dark and spicy oak. The palate has ebullient acidity, the
classic 2002 grainy tannin and a narrow but quite long finish. The acidity is really a key part of the expansion in the
mid-palate which brings quite some character to the wine. Perhaps not quite 1er cru level of intensity or, today,
complexity, but certainly engagement. Nice wine, even in a 2002 context.
