No formal notes, but recall a positive surprise given the vintage.

Ripe black fruits, gentle spices, hints of floral note and dried herbs. Very balanced and elegant on the medium-bodied palate. Clean and fresh. Finish is equally soft but a bit short. Need sometime in the decanter for the wine to develop more. A few more years of aging will be great.

A mixture of green and cherry fruits, in a rather pretty way. Palate is light, with good tension, not the fullest of bodies but a long, lingering finish.

Darker fruits. Slight earth and smoke on finish. Not the most defined and deep but decent.
