The vintage
Precocious budding quite irregular. The flowering season was fast and homogenous, around 5th June - End of June it was quite rainy – July & August relatively hot. Weather quite forecast in the beginning of the harvest, and then sun and rain played « hide and seek ». The end was rather sunny.

Tasting
Beautiful dark ruby-red colour.
Very nice in mouth, it has developed nicely, slightly « tuilé ». Classy fruit on the palate. Fullish. Good balance.
