Hervé Pennequin C - Very deep, almost black. N - Earthy, woody notes, spices, raspberry, strawberry, elegant and delicate bouquet. P - Elegant, smooth, although tannins are tight and noble. Long aftertaste of forest floor and rose petals.
Mark Slater C - Good clarity, dense, super dark ruby. N - Dry, hard bouquet, medium intensity. P - Charming fruit, tannins sneak in at the end, average quality, fair balance, but tannins disjointed, good length. Tasty wine, needs time.
Andreas Larsson C - Dark purple. N - Nice nose of oak, berries, creamy with some vanilla and oak. P - Dry with marked tannins, very full with dark fruits, long finish. Very young.
Teresa Perez C - Clean, brilliant, intense cherry red. N - Complex, intense bouquet, black fruit, cacao, pepper and clove aromas, very good quality expression, deep intensity. P - Powerful attack, huge volume in the mouth, little expression other than as yet unrefined and disintegrated tannins, crushing all else, medium finish.
Yoichi Sato C - Quite dense, very dark and deep black garnet, very intense. N - Cacao, chocolate, bitterness and burnt notes. New barrel DOMAINEinates. P - Bitter flavors, very astringent in the mouth, over wooded letting no other flavors or characteristics escape, long but over intense. Very young and expressing hard tannins.
Giuseppe Vaccarini C - Profound ruby, purple reflections. N - Fruited, spiced, slightly floral, hint of reduction, good intensity. P - Well sustained body, discreet acidity, light, initial tannic presence, but takes over other flavors. Discreet, but tannic.
