Note di degustazione
The 2000 displays good intensity on the nose: blackcurrant, pomegranate, a touch of raspberry and vanilla. At present, this is more generous than the 2005, although not quite the same definition and breeding. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins on the entry, graphite and a touch of tar interlacing the dark fruits. I prefer the finish on the 2005 to the 2000. This is very masculine and punchy at the moment, although doubtless it will mellow with ageing. (NM)

This is very open with plum and sweet tobacco notes, and a round and juicy body. Really just starting to open up.
Deep crimson. Marked leafy aroma, otherwise quite muted and rather closed. Fresh, velvety and cool on the finish. Surprisingly leafy and a bit flat overall. Not as ripe as I would have expected. (JH)
Sweet, thick, black cherries. A bit simple and tarty, but lots of short-term pleasure. A bit jagged, though pretty good for a second wine (of Las Cases). (JR)
