9.0

Colour: almost no transparency, dark red, ruby
Nose: intense bad of red and black fruit.. it's like being in a bush of raspberry and blackberries.. very fruity bouquet with nice spiciness of red pepper, rosemary and juniper. Nice old wood suggestions, not overwhelming and good integrated
Palate: good lively acidity and good tannic structure, quite smooth overall. Red fruit coming through, then nice spiciness not too much - mostly rosemary and red spices, with a bit of nice and mellow wood. Not too warm, good balance overall. Very nice. — 8 years ago

Colour: Almost no transparency; red-violet, quite dark
Nose: Quite heavy and penetrant bag of black fruit: plums, black cherries, figs – all very ripe. A bit of wood/oak (not new one probably) flavours in the background – hints of liquor-like cherry.
Palate: Medium to full in body – quite warm in the mouth but still good acidity to support the structure, fine tannins. Very dry sensation – astringent on the finish. Plums, black berries and blackcurrants present – Quite robust in style overall.

Colour: Quite transparent, light ruby (typical colour from a young pinot noir)
Nose: Penetrant red fruit bag: raspberries, strawberries, red cherries. A bit of woody flavours in the background (although red fruits far more evident), but not strong at all: wet leaves, undergrowth. Young pinot noir style.
Palate: Light in body, good young tannins, with a slight grip but still pleasant. A bit watery still. Hints of spices in the aftertaste. Nice astringency, quite warm and ripe in the palate; quite nice length

Colour: Slightly transparent; dark ruby – but not too dark.
Nose: Classical Northern Rhone peppery spices (black pepper), but not too much. Red fruit (strawberry, red cherry), quite fresh sensation... But also black berries, blueberries, violet notes, not too evident though. Northern Rhone style but not outstanding.
Palate: Medium-body, good tannic structure, but not too strong and a bit watery and subtle. A bit more meaty and peppery as it remains in the mouth.

Colour: Medium transparency, intense gold colour, very brilliant.
Nose: Intense and concentrated bouquet made up by biscuits, brioches, red cherries, raisins, caramel, nutty flavours. Overall rich and intriguing perfume, a bit it reminds champagne.
Palate: Nutty spices and citrus flavours in good balance; light to medium in body, not too acid but stil good and refreshing. Nuts and chestnuts in the finish. More acid after a few sips, with a good grip in citrus-like flavours.
