Tasting Notes:
|
2004: |
Dark
ruby colour; it's floral bouquet speaks of violets with
fruity elements of blueberry and blackcurrant. A whisper
of leather. Flavours enter the mouth slowly and with a
roundness. The dark red fruity notes dominate the light
oak treatment. Tannins are supple and ample. A long and
fruity finish. Drinkable now. Will cellar for 10 to 20 +
years. |
|
2005: |
A
banner vintage with lots of sun and lower production
yields. This wine is dark crimson; it's bouquet is
of black currants, violets and a hint of cherry. Entry is
powerful and firm; the red fruits dominate the light oak
treatment. The tannins are currently supple but are yet
young. A big wine! Long and fruity finish. Lay
it down at least a year or two. Will cellar a long
long time. |
