(11-2009) Minerally nose, light and almost lean but certainly fine textured. I suspect this would have tasted better a few years ago.
(03-1998) A soft red, rich, maturing; very agreable harmonious black fruit aroma - touches of raspberry and strawwberry; stylish, perfect weigth. Delicious.
(10-1994) Closed and tight with lots of grape, berry, ripe fruit character. Full-bodied and alcoholic with full tannins
