(Lambrays Clos des Lambrays) The colour is certainly browner than my last bottle - about 4 months earlier. Minerals, soil and a good mix of high and medium tones on the nose. Lovely, mouth-filling, coffee-edged flavours and the typical, slightly unruly 2002 tannins. A very characterful wine of good length - very tasty.
(Lambrays Clos des Lambrays) Medium red only, but the colour looked super in the glass, despite domestic comments about it being a rosé! The nose was wide and reasonably deep - rather mineral and persisent - not so much fruit but lovely to sniff. In the mouth it was mainly about balance and persistence; nicely ripe fruit, a little of the aromatic minerality and an intensity that built before slowly fading. Like many Lambrays, it’s about balance and compexity, not power.
