Medium ruby, with slight fading edges. Pink floral and cranberry aromas, as well as some green fern. Rounded tannins, with a body that was rather substantial for Pinot Noir, and some good cranberry and blackberry fruit intensity, as well as rocket leaves and cloves. Still very fresh even after more than a decade. Nice!

Medium ruby, good viscosity and extraction, and some fading on edges. Pronounced nose, with floral potpourri, nutmeg spices, and fine rolled cigar. Savoury on the palate but still a good sense of blackberry and cassis fruits, and extremely complex, with some undergrowth, cooking spices, and cigarbox. Long finish, alternating between dried flowers and smokes. Fabulous!

Deep purplish ruby, with lots of extraction. Aromas of ripe redcurrant and cassis, ans a slight chilly mint. Rounded tannins, but full bodied with good fruit intensity, with ripe, nearly candied cherries, cinnamon, and a hint of mushroom. A good length of rich sweetish fruits
