  Medium ruby, not showing a lot of age. Lovely nose. A little blast of pure strawberry jumps out. But clearly Burgundy, all underlaid with an earthy base. Palate entry is great, a nice blast of fruit that I mightn't have expected given the vintage. Then it calms down and becomes more properly Burg, yet retains a pure vein of ripe red berries. I'm very happy with this purchase, as the vintage was anything but classic, but the pedigree shows, and while this might be slightly more on the light/red fruit end of the scale, it is not lacking in any way. Youthful, still with tannins showing, this might well run another 10-15 years. Charming and delicious.

  Still plenty of acidity. Well balanced.
  Nose is superb. Red fruit dominates. Drinking really well. Delicious.

  rouge grenat sans signe d'évolution; couleur bien soutenue. Nez élégant et frais de framboises, bois de santal, fines notes terreuses. Bouche tendue, déliée, élégante avec une finale acide mais bien équilibrée. Vin a maturité.

  Meilleur. Plus ouvert. Encore très jeune, avec des notes d’élevage en fût, mais ça s’en vient.

  Encore trop d’élevage: à attendre…
