Vivid colour. Cherry spicy and plum, nice wine; finer structure in this context. Elegant, spicy, raspberry and kirsch. Not so big but tight and elegant: how will it ageVivid colour. Cherry spicy and plum, nice wine; finer structure in this context. Elegant, spicy, raspberry and kirsch. Not so big but tight and elegant: how will it age? I suspect well. Not great length, perhaps.

As hoped and expected; beautiful colour; a wonderful bouquet, with black fruits of various kinds the engine, oak in tow. Impeccable texture and balance in the mouth; again, a wonderful array of seamless blackberry, licorice and high-quality oak; destined to become recognised as one of the great Granges.
