Good intense, ripe nose, red fruits with good purity. Medium ripe tannins and good acidity on the palate, nice pure strawberrry amd cherry fruit, lovely finish. Very promising at this stage.
Again, good intense ripe red fruit. Even better depth on the palate than the Clavelier, not sure there is quite the same purity but good acidity and promising nevertheless.

Nose a little subdued, but lovely pure red fruits. On the palate, ripe tannins, and more red fruit, understated but good purity, nice acidity on a lingering finish. Very promising.

Complex, ripe fruit on nose, with strawberry and hints of plum and black cherry. Succulent red fruit on palate, good structure and balance. Very promising.
