Tardieu-Laurent, Hermitage Vintage:2003 but I was expecting more

but I was expecting more from this cru

finishing earthy

while displaying good if not special depth on the lingering finish

There is better freshness as well as better complexity to the array of plum

The 2010 Capbern Gasqueton is a wine that I never tasted en primeur

Tardieu-Laurent, Hermitage Vintage:2003 but I was expecting moreIn magnum Aromatic, gentle, floral and surprisingly a lightly herbal note to the nose. Delicate spice on the nose is more pronounced on the palate and all in all much richer. Elegant and surprisingly soft tannins already with the lightest of grip on the finish. A little nutty, quite perky and bright but finishes both sweet and savoury and long. (JH)
