A substantial mouthful of plums, baked figs and mocha. Somewhat corpulent but this is no ordeal thanks to its acidic sensibilities. Still drinking well on the fruit although I’m not sure if I’d age this for much longer.

Decanted 1 hour before drinking.3rd time I have had this wine and both previous bottles were better. Light to moderate sediment. Brick red color. This had more fruit than the 2000 La Nerthe I also opened. The red fruit had a little bitterness mixed in. This is fading. Drink now. 83 points.

Strangely started thin and lacking almost any character but within an hour had flowered to something really very pleasant. Lesson = decant for an hour!

Still alive, but very much at the end of its drinking plateau. Lovely sweet fruit - drink up!
