Good light colour. A nose of baking spices, wet river stone, minerals, grapefruit and yellow orchard fruit, with suggestions of salinity and creaminess. No exotic fruit aromas. On palate, the first impression is of the excellent, sparkling 2007 acids. There is good cut and precision and no hint of creaminess. The acidity cut beautifully through the garlic butter on my scallops. The flavour profile is more limes than lemons, with those yellow orchard fruit. There is perhaps a hint of more exotic fruit (passionfruit?). Good fruit weight to match the tension. Quite long, it finishes on chalk and limestone notes. Drinking well now but, ideally, cellar 5+ years.
Colour good ruby. A complex bouquet of black spices, dirt, red cherry, red currant and rusty iron filings. With time in the glass, the nose moved more rusty. On palate flavours of red cherries, dry underbrush and savoury, earthy, rusty and (dried) herby nuances. Good acidity, structure and dry extract. An excellent accompaniment to my succulent filet de boef with truffles. Drinking beautifully now but not yet very secondary, so it has years to go, I would say.
