Nose of raspberry, strawberry, hints of cherry and sous bois; silky and well structured but little fruit and somewhat astringent; within a half hour sous bois more dominant on nose

Very gently double decanted, not sure if necessary in hindsight. An attractive profile of darker red cherry and cranberry, damp earth, with a firm finish - no green notes but definitely a cool vintage feel. Excellent transparency. Still needs more time (3/5yrs) but promising. ***1/2+

Vintage green, thin but well-drinking. Transparent with a grip. 91-92

Fruit forward - hint of possible heat damage. Nice concentration on taste and long fruit and flower finish. Still a bit tannic so more aging needed.

The Barthod had great red and black cherry nose, full body, no sign of green, but took time to open up. A lovely wine but needs 5-8 yrs to peak. 92
