not feeling it at all. this is tart and high toned and one dimensional to a fault. it's one note cranberry and quite thin. waste of money and lacked the verve of other Irancy i've had.
A private lunch (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam, NL): From a 0.6ha parcel, planted to 100% Pinot Noir (no César included), 13% ABV, some 4,000 bottles produced. Light strawberry and cherry red; crunchy red cherries, cranberry compote, wonderfully fresh and cool style, tight but the fruit is ripe, light to medium body, violets, pure and linear, mineral and energetic, fine-grained skin phenolics, hint of cream, good length. A lovely expression of terroir and vintage.

Introducing Irancy to Spanish Aficionados (Restaurante Garcia de la Navarra - Madrid): A very young bottle with numerous violet reflections. Obviously it has class and soon shows aromas of cherry, licorice and a mineral background. In the mouth it has a lot of density, elegance and silky texture. However many of my mates missed a real sense of tipicity that should provide a bottle labeled Irancy. Far away from last 2004 tasting.
Una botella muy joven con numerosos reflejos violáceos. Evidentemente tiene clase y no tardó en ponerlo de manifiesto con aromas a cereza, regaliz y un fondo mineral. En boca tiene mucha densidad, elegancia y una textura asedada. Sin embargo muchos echaron de menos un verdadero sentido de la tipicidad que debe aportar una botella con la etiqueta de Irancy. Muy lejos de mi última cata de un 2004.

Better on day two. Fun wine. Not what his reds are but delicious regardless.
