Deep red. On the nose black currants and other black fruits, some wet earth. Nice mouthfeel, tannins resolved at this stage. Medium finish. Drink now, I don't expect this to improve.

Tasted at winery. Deep red with a violet hue. On the nose notes of black currants, forest fruits, undergrowth and nicely integrated vanilla from barrique. Full bodied and dominated by primary fruit, yet elegant with acidity, alcohol and tannins in perfect balance. Medium finish. Clearly superior to the less balanced 2008 from a more difficult vintage. Drink now through 2016.

Black currant, black cherry and some wood. Medium+ body, good balance. Slight hint of bitterness towards the finish.

Strong fruit taste. Lot of cherry.
