Sweet and perfumed. The early palate is tight and tannic, with dynamic cherry and raspberry flavors. The back palate seems linear and defined at first, but what is initially snappy and crisp unfolds to display several layers of complexity and style.

Dense and fruity, but not as defined or enriched as the 2000. The bouquet delivers red fruit, foresty aromas and chocolate. Next in line is a palate of brandied berries, earth and a touch too much acidity. No complaints as a whole, but it shows some leanness in the middle.
