Tasting notes
Medium red. Musky aromas of dark cherry, licorice, herbs and flowers. Supple and fine-grained on entry, then rather inexpressive in the middle, hinting at red berries, brown spices and underbrush. This very suave wine coats the palate with flavor and finishes with sweet tannins but needs time to express itself.

Bright red. Enticing red fruits and spices on the perfumed nose. Then deeper and more powerful than the Mazy in the mouth, and more closed today, hinting at red licorice. Densely packed, broad and sappy. With the tannins arriving late, this structured wine really saturates the palate on the back end. But today it's more about lingering perfume than middle-palate fruit.
Bright, mid-crimson. Closed nose. Very juicy fruit. Almost cherry-ade. Doesn't really reveal much at the moment except some relatively stern texture. Much lighter than Ponsot! Sinewy. (JR)
