Light garnet, not very concentrated in color. Rhubarb, juniper berry, cherry, flowers on the nose, quite promising. Soft mouthfeel at first, with fading fruit. Good acidity to provide structure, but feels disjointed now as tannins are still coming in strongly. Long finish, with good acidity. I will leave the last one in the cellar for another yr, but this may be past its peak.

Classic cdp nose of plum, baked fruits, herbs and garrigue. Similar palate with medium to light body. Not very tannic. There is a bit of an alcohol problem, however. At 15% it's just not quite integrated enough. Maybe other vintages of this property are better.

Touch of reduction on the nose. Baked plums, herbes de Provence, wild strawberries, hint of cherry. Quite silky. Lovely! 89-90
