  • This is the best bottle of the three I bought. In many ways it was showing more evolution and complexity than the bottle nearly two years ago but thankfully there were none of the cabbage hints of that bottle which made me fear imminent decay. Both nose and palate showed attractive aromas of spice sprinkled mature bramble infused fruit on a dark complexioned medium++ body with an underlying roundness sprinkled with oil and old book together with smooth texture and acidity and residues of a ripe tannic backbone. I doubt if this will get any better but it should hold for a while. Very good.

  • Dark pomegranate red. Rich dried fruit nose, liquorice, tobacco juice. Tannins softened and assimilated; medium full rounded body, fruity, slightly sweet, leather, liquorice. Good length.

  • Garrigue, herbs, lavender, spices jump right out of the glass. Some dark fruit, plum, stewed notes but tertiary. Bold rustic chewy tannins. Low acid. Some what disappointing finish.

  • First impressions were excellent on both nose and palate showing attractive aromas of spice sprinkled mature bramble infused fruit on a medium++ body with smooth acidity and ripe tannic backbone. However I thought that once or twice I caught indistinct glimpses of cabbage notes which might indicate incipient break up of the wine. I will drink my remaining bottle quite soon. Meanwhile very good.

  • Popped and poured with dinner. Just rounding into shape, really. Dark garnet, with just a hint of brick at the rim. Nose was complex, with a backbone of dark red fruit, some forest floor, though not as much of the usual barnyard, and some dusty spices. The palate was big, as usual, and had a bit of the rusticity one expects from Cayron. But it seems elegant at the same time. Lots of red and dark fruit left, with some pepper. Good balance, plenty of structure. Long finish. These are so good young these days, nice to have one that has been around a little while.
