From 75cl, tasted from the remaining half of a bottle opened 24 hours before. Explosive ripe dark-fruit scent; not quite balanced on the mid-palate (sharp acid, rough tannins and oxidised fruit). I'm sure this was great in the 3 hours after opening. 90P(?)

From 75cl, perfect cork. P+P. Another superb bottle as previously noted, I'd just add blackberry to the mulberry and raspberry mid-palate fruit, and emphasize the outstanding acidic backbone, which remains tingling to the end of the long finish. Beautifully mature now, but no hurry. 91P

Moderately deep. Very pretty floral nose. Very good entry level (or slightly above) carignan. Outshone by some finer examples on the night.

From 75cl, perfect cork. Another superb bottle; intense, sexy, ripe, moreish blackberry fruit. 91P
