Out of a .375. I was concerned as the cork crumbled as if it were made out of sand. Filtered multiple times as I tried to remove cork bits. Very spicy and floral on the nose . In the mouth a medley of red fruit and herbs . Very lively acids and almost resolved tannins. Not sure time will do much for the palate but it might add additional complexity to the nose.

Red fruit - strawberries, cherries and rhubarb. Good acidity, still some tannins left! Subtle spice on the finish.

Drinking nicely, wonderful late afternoon wine. Nice and crisp, light overripe fruit (red) amazing nose with very intense dry herbs

Pomegranate, cinnamon, flowers, high acid and a touch of funk. Even some bay laurel. A little bit funkier than I like when it opens up.
