2000
At first sight the deep purple color let you imagine a wine strong as a whole. This impression is confirmed by a long and generous bouquet of red fruits terminated by a spicy touch. The palate is rich and well structured . The tannins are light at first sip and expressive at the finish. This wine 2000 is a passionate teenager that has to settle down for a while. May be you should wait next year to drink it.

1999
After one year the wine is slightly amber-colored what means that the time is at work. In the nose the bouquet became harmonious, always present the red fruits aroma is more discreet, it is necessary to smell again and again to approach the complexity of the aromas mix. In the palate passion gave place to power round and fine. The teenager becomes wiser.

1998 aged in trunks of oak
The color is in depth dark red. In the nose, one discovers a complex wine on which it is necessary to make a stop to have a chance to discover all its facets; at first smell one will find the dominant red fruits candied and some way behind a slight characteristic vanilla aroma due to the trunks. The bouquet seems endless, all the time new smells appear. In the palate, the bouquet is confirmed. Tannins invades the whole mouth without astringency, the whole is powerful, but a round force. 1998 is a wine for connoisseurs. Give him the time, and every year the aromas will mix finely together. Nowadays it is the favorite of the wine maker. He says his master piece.
1998 matured in vats
The depth of the color lets suspect a wine in full maturity and the different lights in it let suppose sort of complex assembly. The bouquet gets intense after a while in the glass, various smells are encountered (candied red fruits and spices). In the palate the wine is ample without aggressiveness with a typical character of the Rhone Valley, the tannins that were discreet previous years show their presence. This wine has still a long way to go but yet will satisfy the amateur.
