Richard Mayson: A year when it rained quite heavily during vintage: good, mid-deep color, still nearly opaque; lovely, open, floral fruit, with a touch of esteva (gum cistus), classic; sweet, minty ripeness, with a touch of dark chocolate at the core, already quite suave, with a peppery finish; not especially structured but lovely to drink now and over the next 10 years. 16
