Mid crimson. Dusty, peppery and dark-fruited. Oak is in check here though the fruit is sinewy rather than generous. Maybe there is some whole-bunch effect here? Firm, chewy-chalky texture. Needs more time than many in this vintage. (JH)

Coffee cream, some rose petals, scented red cherry and chalky minerality. Elegant yet muscular. Liquid stones, floral red fruit and creamy oak. Nice finesse. (TJ)
