Saturday, February 12, 2022 - 2021 Martinborough weekend with Kai, Marion and friends (Wairarapa, NZ): Served double blind with the Arlaud. Back on form here. Garnet colour but lively and bright. An enchanting bouquet of a mélange of red and black cherries and berries, kirsch and slaty minerals. In the mouth, intense, fresh and very youthful. Powerful and clean, crammed full of quite primary, opulent and ripe berry fruit. I guessed the vintage as 2009. Drinking very young, and very well, for a 2003. No sign of stereotypical 2003 overripe or jammy fruit. Excellent!
