Very herbal/vegetal, but with some ripe fruit behind it, more interesting than pleasurable.

Expressive nose, floral. Medium palate, clean finish. A few more years until it gets better. Recommended.

Not complex, but oh so easy to drink. Any day, anytime, a gem.

May have let it open up too much? Not sure if that's a thing but decanted for about an hour. Fell flat on its own but paired very nicely with clams in pasta. Slight hint of pepper
