Darker translucent ruby hue. After about an hour the nose was giving off scents of full violets, dark berry, sinuous beef blood, faint iron. Layers of lively red raspberry and black cherry fruit laced with fine iron and earth on the exquisitely poised, satiny palate. Lovely balance of lively acidity and integrated tannin. Long finish of red and black fruit brimming with freshness and cut with powdered rock and iron. Very enjoyable showing tonight.

Blind tasting dinner. Nose of dark and red fruit, very earthy, feels quite young still. Solid, but may be a touch rustic as so often with the Lamarche wines of this era.

Deep red. Nose comes out reluctantly, and is of dark fruit. In the palate there is a sensation of darkness and depth. Seems like a ungiving wine now, but it is still a baby.
