Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is rich for a nouveau, its blackberry jammy texture offering more than just juicy fruit. The burst of strawberry and banana is classic, but the ripe fruit gives the wine some additional complexity.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
It may be labeled Nouveau, but this wine is hardly ready for drinking at this early stage after the harvest. It is a properly structured wine, which shows relatively ripe berries and a gush of lively fruit and acidity. It is worth keeping until the end of the year.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A comparatively serious Villages, its tannins firmly in evidence. There is a touch of woodiness as well. Only gradually does the red fruit come through. The aftertaste has fruity and acidity, but still those tannins.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A rounded, generous wine that shows red plums, fresh red berry acidity, but also a layer of tannins. That puts it into a food-friendly category, full of flavor and fruit, but also well structured.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A wine for short-term aging, despite the relative lightness of the vintage and wine. It has firm tannins and dark berry fruits, layered with plum skins. The fruit sits on a base of tannins and acidity, while the surface remains bright and fresh.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tannins dominate here, the fruit offering some bright support. The wine is certainly firm, although it misses some concentration. But it is well balanced, berry fruits showing well against a drier core. The aftertaste offers freshness and acidity. Drink over the next year.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A relatively full-bodied wine, ripe and smothered in raspberry jam. It has a layer of banana flavor, acidity and even some tannin. It’s like drinking red berry juice.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Initially this one seems very dry, then richer black fruits come through, providing some weight. It finishes deliciously fruity.
