Day 1. Rich velvet robe. Nose initially offered up small red/dark small fruits and a touch of sous bois, closed up after 20 min. On palate huge ripe fruit with bags of silly smooth tannins , lovelely liquorish/star-anise type flavours and great acidic minerality. Amazing for a village wine. Retry tomorrow and then will re-score.

Deep velvet colour. Huge ripe nose offering up plums,damsons,earth. Great palate wiyh lush rich fruit. Lovely minerality with great acid/tannin balance with good oak integrated. Long finish . Impressive for a village burg.

Very nice. Full bodied with nice tannins, well balanced acid. Nice fruit that is a little subdued with the body of the wine. Could be very nice in a few years.
