This wine is all blooming aromatics, black cherry and kirsch, with a blackness that gives the wine a real sense of free-flowing, fruit-driven oomph. The impressive thing is the wines momentum.

Interestingly the 2001 appears a little more advanced than the 2000, with secondary notes lying just below the surface: Provencal herbs, liquorice and rosemary. As such, it is probably more “interesting” than the 2000 at this moment in time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins on the entry. This acidity is taut and well judged, deftly interwoven through the dense mass of black, liquorice-tinged fruit, with a saline touch on the finish. Again, this has great potential, but do not let the aromatics fool you into thinking that it is near ready.
