Tasting notes
Good deep red. Pungent aromas of dark raspberry, rose petal, blood orange and bitter chocolate. Then juicy and precise in the mouth but tight and backward. A wonderfully sappy, vibrant wine whose firm acids will require several years of cellaring. Not at all pliant today-in fact this is distinctly ungiving-and yet I find this wine's energy, cut and floral perfume to be exhilarating.

Very seductive rich nose but with lots of refreshing acidity too and extremely fine tannins underneath. Very composed and confident. Well done, though we’ll have to wait for it to bloom. (JR)
(20% of the juice is from vines in their fourth leaf) Deep, bright red. Sappy, pure aromas of dark berries and minerals. Fat and sweet but less expressive and less perfumed than the ineffable Suchots. This boasts lovely sweet red berry flavors but seems a bit stunted today on the back end, with the chewy tannins standing out.
