Totally different profile compared to the 06 tasted alongside - red cherries and redcurrants on the nose and palate, with only a smattering of blackberry to offset the red fruits. Much leaner but perhaps more elegant as a result. On the second night the red fruits really took off, with a searing middle section that was very impressive. It doesn’t have the same potential as the 06 but still a delicious wine.

Nez frais et ouvert sur le poivron rouge, la tomate, peu de tertiaire hormis quelques petites notes de cuir, bouche équilibrée et fraîche, ma bouteille était en fait encore jeune...

Bright aromas of cassis and redcurrant, with quite a lot of leather, leading into a fresh, intense mouthful of the same, quite concentrated in the same way as a Montus is, obviously with different flavours. Good acidity and feel to the middle section and an intense finale. Some brett, but no more than a passing distraction. This is very good and will improve further. Much more satisfying than the Roches Neuves 08 tasted recently.

Dark fruit (cherry, blueberry), nice pepper, nice spice, smooth. Good acidity. Minerality. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.
