Medium gold- quite advanced. Tropical fruits - grapefruit, spice, herbal notes, lovely weight on palate, contrasting vibrant acidity carries a very good length finish. ****

Medium/deep garnet. Red fruited, ripe, sweet, medium bodied, lovely palate - harmonious, tannins fully resolved, touch of soil and spice, hedonistic but balanced, long, complete. Lovely ****1/2.

Deep garnet. Nose is black fruited, gravelly minerals, touch of beefiness. Classic claret nose. Medium bodied, attractive minerally black fruit on initial entry, falls away a touch on a firmish finish. Very good though ***1/2.

Lovely when first poured - cedary, minerally cool fruit. Fell away quite quickly in the glass though and ended up a touch non-descript. Odd and a bit difficult to rate.

Initially a little closed but does open up with 10 minutes or so in glass to show dark, smoky, almost charcoaly fruit. Medium/full bodied, charcoaly fruit again, touch of beef, reasonably accessible, deep and long but perhaps a touch one dimensional, at least at present. ***(*)

Nose shows red-toned fruit, vanilla - a touch confected at first, spice. Medium bodied on the palate, fresher, more savoury and red fruited than the 2000, some savoury notes emerging on the good length finish. Very drinkable ****

No formal note but this was lovely, quite floral, with ripe stone fruit and lovely vibrant acidity. Deep and long.
