Reticent nose, some black cherry. Tight on the palate. Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. Dark fruit in the background and crushed black rocks. Needs time or a good decant.

Nose is a bit reticent, but there's some pretty strawberry noses peeking through. Light to medium bodied with medium acidity. Red cherry and cranberry fruit, violets and a just a hint of earth. Really pretty and elegant, not at all what I expect from G-C villages.
Whoa, nose is much more open than two previous. Not a lot of fruit on the nose, but a perfume of dried flowers, wood spice and smoked ham. Medium bodied with low to medium acidity, sappy black raspberry and cherry fruit and clove. This is wide open for business and really tasty. I would drink this in the near term though because the acidity is a bit low and there isn't a lot of structure.
Pretty nose of baked cherry and cinnamon. Medium bodied with medium acidity and great complexity on the palate. Red and black berry fruit and baking spices. Long finish. Drinking nicely now but is also a cellar candidate.
