Popped and poured, this showed lush red and black cherry to start, well supplemented by sweet baking spice. Best when open 10-20 minutes, this slowly lost spice and brightness from there. Still enjoyable at the two-hour mark, but not quite the same.

A bright coloring when poured. Opened and let sit for about 30 minutes before pouring. Lots of cherry, strawberry, raspberry and a hint of rhubarb. Very smooth but a bit light, in keeping with the vintage. Delicious.

This wine has quite a dark colour with some edge browning. The nose is initially quite closed and shows predominantly red fruits with some gaminess. The palate is initially quite glossy and worked with the winemaking signature obliterating any terroir character. After 2 hours that almost New world glossiness abates and the nose rivals black fruits, dark chocolate and plenty of spice. This was reflected in the palate which while always on the austere side had plenty of character and length which came out over the glossy winemaking signature. Pretty good all round !

Simple one dimensional. One of the poorest Suchot's I have tried.
