Medium-plus cherry-red, no fading. Bready and meaty notes mingle with the fruit – after a while it’s almost like minestrone soup – quite bizarre. Perhaps a little sulfur was causing the problem, given time it’s mainly creamy black cherry. The palate is much more like it, fresh black-shaded fruit and really good acidity. Silky with good concentration and medium, medium-plus length. Very tasty.

Deep gold. The nose retains a hint of toast, un-salted butter and sea-shells. There’s admirable depth, it’s all tertiary now – I can’t pick up any fruit – but impressive all the same. The palate has some fat, perfect acidity and a creamy finish of good length. Shows quite young – only with time does the nose become more diffuse and eventually the palate goes too – but this was a super wine for 45+ minutes.
