A completely different expression as the aromatic profile here is more elegant still with exuberant yet fine notes of small red fruits. The flavors however are substantially lighter and though they are more precise, purer and exceedingly pretty with a subtle minerality, this lacks a bit of mid-palate punch. If it can add weight before the mise, my score may be conservative. Allen Meadows, Burghound Jan01,2003
Medium red. Cherry, spice and a hint of game on the nose; purer than the village wine. Supple and sweet on entry, then a bit dry in the middle and on the back. Showing its tannins today.
