Dark blood red. Complex creamy bouquet with cassis, sweet liquorice and elegant oak. Soft, but also sticky tannin. Caramel. Full bodied and firm. Needs 1 or 2 more years to show all of its merits.
Light carmine. Fruity, fairly deep and a bit earthy bouquet. Friendly and round. Still quite young. The tannin is very soft and friendly. Medium and pleasant finish. A real pleasure without much complexity.

Special bouquet with very ripe fruits. On the palate a lot of high and unpleasant acidity. Short finish. Very disappointing.
