In fine form. Not a ton of flavor depth. Goes down easy. Great overall balance.

The door was only partially open, but the glimpse inside revealed strawberry and cherry accented with minty underbrush, herbs, and stone. The lively acid is cut short by a wall of tannins. Loads of savoriness, but will be better in a year or two.

Smoky toasted sesame seed nose with petrol notes masked by rosemary. Roses and underripe raspberry, atop a bakers chocolate slate. Medium mouthfeel, that adumbrates into a tart smoky cherry and cedar, then finishes with a Gevery C-like cran. Persistent, and delectable. A serious wine with approachable attitude. Lovely.

Some tea leaves as first aromatics then red fruit on the nose but also on the palate with an acidity and a tangy sour side that is a little too pronounced for my tastes. A little bit light and thin in my opinion and the worst bottle of this that I opened so far.

Du thé au nez, du fruit rouge au nez comme en bouche avec une acidité et une amertume en bouche un peu trop présente, un peu mince il me semble, pas mauvais mais j’avais aimé les premieres bouteilles que j’avais bu, un peu moins cella-la.
