Powerful notes of wild strawberry and spring flowers, just a hint of red cherry in the background. In the mouth, much the same - a strong wave of wild strawberry, quite sweet, which rather obliterates the blackberry in the second section and finish. The red cherry does get a look-in, but only later. Impressive, in that the fruit, although sweet, is pure enough to probably avoid going syrupy in the future. There is a little crispness to the finish, but I would have liked more of it. A little lacking in body and depth. Very enjoyable but I wonder how well it will age further.

Who filled this bottle with Rougeard? Great depth and texture. Cab franc but not too green. Delicious and feels younger than 14 years.
