Tasting notes
(The Grives village parcel is being replanted). Mid to light cherry red. The oak is just a little obvious at the moment. But there is lots of cherry fruit too. Slight bitterness on the finish. Punchy. (JR)

This offers more aromatic complexity if not quite the same elegance with its ripe nose of plum, cassis, violets and earth nuances. There is good volume to the supple, round and wonderfully seductive flavors that possess a gorgeous mouth feel before terminating in a long balanced and equally complex finish. This is excellent and very stylish as well. Tasted: Jan 14, 2013. Drink: 2021+
