Bright red, some sous bois, tea, orange, beautiful palate very light. Long finish. The 2nd oldest of the lot but the most youthful. Amazing.

Blinded. Orange peel, intense with a tea like finish. Dry fine coating tannins and fresh.

Blind. Despite the youngest of the lot, this wine was rather advance. Made in a rather rustic style, rather big with coating tannins.
