Light and developed color. A bit shy nose with tea, something chemical and red berries. Medium body. Nice fruit and good acidity. Developed and mature, but quite straight-forward.
Developed color. Complex and spicy nose with red fruit and some chemical. Medium body. Sweet spices in the finish, reminds me of christmas. Nice acidity, long finish.
Dark red. Vanilla and red fruit on the nose. Solid amount of oak. Was tested in both a chianti and a bdx glass, appeared more balanced in the chianti. The oak is too dominant now, but I believe the aging potential is good.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Candy fruit, spice and some alcohol on the nose. A lot of power, but not too much. Long finish. The alcohol is quite pronounced, but I believe there is a good potential here.

Quite dark. Fresh blackcurrant and pencil on the nose. Smooth and juicy, with nice fleshy fruit. Mature, but many years left.
