  Deep ruby, cherry to the core and a touch of garnet to the rim. Dense and dark cherry on the nose alongside some vanilla and spice. Deep and brooding. This has hardly moved on from my last bottle seven years ago. Dense for a 2000. Still has quite a firm structure with a finely tannic finish. Feels years from maturity. ***(*1/2) Well, it held over the best part of four hours without any sign of tightening, the vanilla fading and the dense fruit being joined by a smoky and densely meaty element. In fairness it probably would have been even better with food rather than on its own, but it’s impressive stuff, especially for the vintage. I think my only concern would be whether the fruit holds out against the structure in another decade or so. I think it will, but the thought crossed my mind nonetheless.

  A modern take on burgundy, but not overdone. Cherry and spice with a a fairly tannic finish. It seemed a little tart with a mild chicken dish. It was much better with cheese (Harlech - horseradish) where the tannins softened and a nice profile emerged. Overall good, expensive for what it is. Definitely needs the right food.

  Quite rich and deep; fat in the glass, dark cherry fruit, some spice. Fatter and richer than one might expect for the vintage. Quite a long finish. Lovely. And then after approx 90 mins it clamps down and closes up, higher acidity, more tannin, surly and astringent. I guess it's time to put this away for a few years. **** for the first 90mins.

  Ray Walker visits London (Chez Bruce, Wandsworth, London): A replica of the 2001, but a bit smaller all round. This too tightened up, and ended up quite austere and tannic

  Sumptuous, silky textured, more chambolle than gevrey, with its beautiful red fruit fragrance and sappy finish
