Nose: Raspberry, Cherry cola, floral and herbaceous.
Taste: the wine’s tannic structure was perfectly resolved. It has probably peaked in the last couple of years. The nuances of the varietals, the acid and the overall drinking experience still intact and very enjoyable.

In a really great place. Raspberries and cherries with an element of spice. Black pepper. Clove? Mouth-watering acid. Just enough tannin to make it interesting. Drink it now, but it could still hang another year or two and still be good. Damn tasty!

Transparent red. Wonderfully perfumed nose with herbs de provence and macerated fresh strawberries. Not enough acid to go forever but still a touch of red fruit acid and enough tannins to go for some more years. Currants and stewed strawberry in the mouth. Lasting finish with some drying tannin. Might still get better? Safe to keep for a few more years to see what happens. 92+

Delicious, and still remarkably young, a melange of fresh primary red fruits predominating, with a counterpoint of blueberry and allspice.
This vintage clearly has years of life ahead of it.
Rated 1 on a scale of -1 to 3.
