Good nose and colour but fruit is disappearing and is now showing remaining tannins. Either we drank too early or too late. We think the latter.

The nose was quite strong with a cherry fragrence and the wine tasted as good as when it was bought five years ago. The 2002 vintage was supposed to be one of the best in the area.
