  Classic CDR, fruit and body, but not a lot of depth and a touch of an off finish. Just not special.

  Initially, the nose was dominated by eucalyptus that really jumped out of the glass. As it opened up over the next 2-3 hours, it became more balanced with stewed fruit and leather.
  On the palate, more balanced, juicy, medium-bodied with a present acidity. Tannins are integrated so this wine is ready to drink. Good finish.
  Overall, the nose is a bit unbalanced, the palate is fine and the finish is good without being great. Certainly ready and enjoyable but not the greatest La Nerthe at this point.

  Full bodied. Dark and red fruits. Licorice and garrigue. Silky texture. Good balance. At/near peak.

  Balanced and lovely. We were at the winery this year and it was just after the family sold the winery I believe. It has never (in MHO) produced as good a wine as preceding vintages post the sale. Alas. Still this vintage is a lovely wine!
