Nose says tomatoes + fruit which for me = age. Palate is a triumvirate of balanced dark dried fruit, tannin and tart. A decent glass and plenty of tooth-gripping tannin to go longer. Good now though, especially with a nice roast duck or coq au vin of a cold night. Price is right so it’s a buy too.

Gets better the more I drink. Can still age quite a fair bit. Nice classical burgundian nose of raspberries, strawberries and a hint of tar. Smooth in the mouth with short-medium finish.

A strong aroma of overripe plums and prunes, under growth and sour cherry greets you on the nose. medium bodied on the palate and slightly vegetal and hot. After an hour in the glass, the wine softened up and the heat subsided. A good showing for a difficult vintage.

Corked. Such a shame as the wine showed a very nice, deep color.
