Casual pour of the Sunday evening part 2. Very young, needs air. A bit harsh around the edges at first but settles down after a while. True to type. Cherry, green bell pepper, black pepper on the nose. Good acid drive, nice cherry note all along, some vivid mouthfeel, some drying tannins in the rear. There is some width and some dusty, drying effect starts a long and fruit-forward finish with an umami twist which makes it great, with almost a touch of meat juice. It's a very good wine but I suspect that it could be even better in another 2 or 3 years.
