Showing a bit of age, translucent. This nose promises my "five a day", peas, green pepper, cherries, redcurrants, strawberries, excellently complex. Still very alive, earthy, fruity, very soft tannins, balanced, smooth mid palate, quite long. Shame it's my last bottle.

Sweet ripe fruit on the nose, with pepper notes. Not much fruit in the mouth, just a pleasant hint, soft tannins, bell pepper in the soft mid palate, quite long and delicious.

Pretty violets and paprika nose with white pepper and a touch of green tobacco. Very silky, fine-grained texture with water weight and sneaky savory richness. On the lighter side and has a hole in the middle but really quite ravishing. With time it develops more depth and some subtle fine tannins on the back. No rush at all on these. Wish I had more '04s, these are oh so pretty now.

Youthful, intense, opaque, purple-red. Vegetal nose, subtle capsicums. Very youthful, good balance, the tannins suggest keeping a year or two, concentrated flavours and good length.
