Pickled pear and caramel. Developed but not over the hill. Very nice! Perfect pairing for homemade carbonara.

Pas très pierre à fusil mais une belle tension. Étonnant de jeunesse

Very reticent on the nose, maybe needs more air time, but otherwise drinking beautifully and like a much younger wine.
