Foursquare, solid wine, its tannins tight and severe. There is good weight, with red berry fruits under the formidable exterior. To watch as it softens and opens.
A finely structured wine, well spiced with ripe berry fruits and intense but balanced acidity. This is stylish, attractive and is worth aging for 3-4 years.
Spicy, with wood there as well as tannins, this is a dark, extracted wine. There is stalkiness, balanced with dense berry fruits and final acidity.

A good, dry, fleshy wine. Not showing well now in its youth, because it's tannic and unintegrated, with flavors flying all over the place. But there's a solid core of blackberry and black cherry sour…

Like the Petit Castel, this wine needs some time to truly open up and express itself, so be sure to give it time to breathe before serving. Medium weight but full in the mouth with firm tannins and a…
A full-bodied, flamboyant version of this benchmark bottling, the 2007 verges on too much, with lush tropical fruit framed by smoky notes and finishing spicy and slightly warm. Unlikely to have the l…
