Medium colour. The fruit is red at the core and mingles with earth and faint iron and spice. Lovely width and dimension. Although the tannin is largely ‘latent’ I’m almost chewing this wine – to great effect with dark flavours of licorice in the mid-palate. Good length – super.
The 07 is just a little soft-focus due to the fresh oak showing on all aspects of the wine; nose, palate and finish but it is ripe and creamy with just a hint of astringency – should be a lovely, precocious drink but personally I’d wait 1+ years for less barrel influence – not too much to learn about Cazetiers at this age.
