Very lite cherry color, hint of bricking on the rim with some alcohol on the nose here. Good tannins/chocolate/blackcurrant/medium sweet/ good finish/prune/raisins. Quite drinkable still, nice layers of fruits here. Lasted very well over 4 days but best on day 3.

I served slightly chilled at first, decanted one hour. Slight sediment noted. great colour here, medium intense centre. Light purple rim, no age shows. Blackberry on nose with cherry spice. Entry is dry, slight tannins. Fair acidity black fruits on mid-palate. Not too ripe, nice length drinks well now.

I was hoping this would be a better show than the `01 which I had to pour down the sink!
Good natural cork, 10.5% alc, 375 ml. 18 brix sugar at harvest, 114g residual sugar per litre. Despite a rather light brown colour, showed up nicely with pumpkin pie. Hint of caramel on the nose but entry was apricots, peach and hint of orange marmalade, just hanging in though. No future folks.
