See above for an explanation of this wine’s provenance. Direct from the cellar, the colour shows little sign of age. The nose is slightly fuller than the 2000 but stylistically similar. The palate has a little extra dimension, but there is an amazing family resemblance to the 2000 – amazing considering the different vintages and elevages. I’d say they need a similar time to maturity too. Would be a great buy.
Medium-plus ruby colour – fading a little towards the rim, but almost impossible to guess the age. The high toned nose is still primary, though if I had to try and put a name to the fruit I’d say crushed raspberries. The palate has good fat, very good acidity and lovely concentrated fruit. The tannins are svelte and well managed and the length is very impressive. Actually this is a very refined wine that should only get better – leave for 5 years if you can keep your hands off it!
