Tasting Notes
Strong carmine garnet, broad ochre rim, orange reflections. Delicately leafy on the nose, subtle wild berry confit, leafy, damp undergrowth, balsamic nuances, already very ripe. Delicately vegetal, appears light-footed,
More about the tastingNovember 2005: Strong ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening. Slightly jammy on the nose, rather rustic, lean and fresh on the palate, acidic, hints of cassis, dries out a little, the tannin is not yet fully integrated, has power, remains enormously red berry - nevertheless not an optimal bottle. (Drink, another ten years in the future).
