Note di degustazione
(a 60/40 blend of petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon): Medium red. Aromas of cherry, redcurrant, plum, licorice, nutty oak, herbs and pepper, with a riper chocolatey element emerging with air. Juicy red berry and spice flavors lead to a very firm finish featuring serious tannic spine. This should be held a few years. Viader told me that the estate has had its own bottling equipment since 2004, which is unusual for a small family winery.

(50% petit verdot, 36% cabernet sauvignon and 14% cabernet franc, with a pH of 4.04): Good red-ruby. Currant, black cherry, cola, mocha and graphite on the nose, with a whiff of rose petal. Concentrated, sweet and spicy, with surprising inner-mouth energy for a wine with such a high pH. Rounder and silkier than the 2008 version, with nicely buffered tannins. The very long finish shows a lovely light touch. The 2008 may have a stronger structure for aging, but this is more elegant wine.
