Shimmering ruby-red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe cherry and black raspberry, garrigue and floral pastille qualities, and a sneaky mineral flourish builds in the glass. Shows impressive depth as well as finesse, offering sweet red and blue fruit, lavender, anise and spicecake flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. In a powerful but alluringly graceful style, showing impressive detail and a repeating floral note on the impressively long finish, which features smooth tannins and a resonating mineral note.

Ripe red plum, bramble, cranberry jam, smells like a Zinfandel - almost yogurty. Rosemary, pepper, iodine, crushed stone, Brett, VA, no oak. Medium plus acid, 14.5%, elevated tight tannins.

#Vinnatur - Transparent red. Despite low acidity it has a complex character, rich and wide in the mouth, long and tasty. Very good indeed.

CdP Blanc. Full-bodied and a little soft - as expected, I suppose - but holding together well at 15 years.

Great acidity still. Beautiful nose, spice on the palate, with a long finish. Very happy to have laid these down.

Rich and powerful with loads of structure and acid. Slightly jagged. Revisited over a couple days softened a little.
