Tasting notes
Medium red with some amber. Initially dull on the nose, but opened with air to show sweet raspberry and strawberry aromas. Sweet and supple on the palate, with fresh flavors of plum and redcurrant. Initially lacked a bit of cut and grip but seemed to gain in shape in the glass. Not especially rich but offers good supple texture and ripe finishing fruit.

Mid gold. Some sulfites and zest. Rich and a bit galumphing. Not much elegance or zest but no shortage of weight. Slightly astringent finish. (JR)
Good red-ruby. Complex nose combines red and black fruits, smoke, earth, mocha and minerals. Firmly built and tightly wound; less lush today than the Greves but more vibrant. Finishes firmly tannic and persistent.
