2009 - Red-purple robe. Black cherry and blackberry air, licorice alongside. Black fruit on the palate has garrigue herbal touches – it runs well, ends freshly. Good, drinkable wine with substance, has a local, flinty end, is not got up at all. Marks for authenticity, STGT wine.
2005 - Bright, expressive nose led by bouncy black cherry, plus some herbs. The palate holds direct, well-sculpted fruit, really good fruit. It is clear and persistent. The fruit is a winner, clear as a bell. “On this, we seek fruit that is supple and agreeable, say for the summertime. This has always been open,” Jean Steinmaier. To 2011. |
