  Clear, slightly pale garnet with some rim browning. Rhubarb, earth, white pepper. Medium tannins, medium acids. Braised fennel. Long balanced finish

  Undistinguished colour, this needed plenty of air & some cooling. Very expressive, well mannered, integrated & well balanced. At its peak but handle with care.

  Ripe vintage. Nose of ripe raspberries and sour plum. Surprisingly savoury palate compared to the nose. There's raspberries but meatiness, earth and mint.
  
  Excellent now but should have years ahead of it.

  (Bottle variation - one disjointed).
  An edgy note to bouquet but has a certain fragrance; fine grained, delightful deft fruit; extended. Drink now & over next decade.

  Surprisingly deep colour; subtle, delicate, later more sauvage; classically silky, with an inner core providing backbone; plenty on an extended, well-
  mannered finish. Ready but good for another decade.
