Hervé Pennequin C - Red purple, dense. N - Match box aromas, spices, cinnamon, cloves, tar, dark cherry, earthy, smoky oak. P - Jammy, great explosion of black fruit, soft acidity, but becomes slightly aggressive in the end. A touch high in alcohol, dry finish.
Andreas Larsson C - Clear, very intense purple. N - Meaty and spicy with dark black berries.
P - Rich in the mouth, warm with marked tannins, long finish.
Yoichi Sato C - Deep, quite dense, very dark garnet, very concentrated ruby.
N - Black fruit with chocolate, burnt aromas, vegetal touch, tar notes, medium
intensity. P - Plenty of tannin, but agreeable in the mouth, ending in dryness, harsh flavors, hardness upsetting balance, medium finish. Still very young.
Giuseppe Vaccarini C - Average, but dense and deep. N - Small berried fruit, fine quality, medium intensity. P - Round and supple, light tannic presence, quite balanced, fine finish. Agreeable, but still a touch astringent.
