Lovely savoury mature nose with some inviting umami notes. The palate however seems faded, time may be running out for this wine. Day 2: deep bias as per day 1, but palate is now full of sweet red fruits. This had opened out beautifully. Oak is all detectable. Day 3: showing so well I upped the score a point

Dark brownish red color. The wine is the 9th bottle from my cellar. Pomegranate, red currant, blueberry, leather, vanilla, black pepper and some eucalyptus. Yes, This is on right time. I'm wating for this moment. Well developed and matured during a short term. Very different from the last tasting. I'm confused this with Crozes-Hermitage or Barbera. Balanced and yet fragrant, easy drinking wine. This is ready for Beaujolais Fest! Alc. 13.0%

Beautifully developed. Balanced with red fruits to the fore. Lovely acidity.

Has certainly entered its burgundy lookalike phase. Oak is apparent, classic pinotesque palate of rhubarb, cherry, raspberry.

Very dark; muffled nose, bruised plum; sturdy, unflashy, a core of black fruit; a dense finish. Good now, with a chance there is more to follow.
