Milk chocolate and liqueur cherry are balanced with some vanillin oakiness. There is a rich fruity mouthfeel with delicate tannins.

Beautiful sweet fruit on the nose with smokey oak and soft spices. The palette is silky and sleek with a fine, balanced texture.
A soft nose of sweet red berries and delicate oak. The palette has a bit more bite than the 2008 and this is very tidy and clean with a fresh finish.
Fresh red berries and grasses on the nose with plums and a big acidic attack on the palette that is soon subdued by the fine tannins.
Still quite closed, but hints of cherry and other fruits with a dark fruit palette and big structured tannins.
Spices, dark fruit and tar on the nose with zingy acidity, tight tannins and (at this early stage) subdued fruits.
Ripe cherry and charcuterie on the nose with some light spice. The palette features bold tannins and this wine has a great structure with a long, persistent finish.
Delicate florals and cured meats with a soft and seductive red fruit palette.
Dark cherries and strong florals, powerful tannins and a great oak profile.
