Ace. Beautiful balance. Not pushy. Integrated and very put together.

Surprisingly restrained & cool on the nose. Needs some time to open up.
On the palate this is a bit bolder yet still quite cool style. Nice energy & depth. A bit of heat in the finish.
Still very young, with the wood still sticking a bit out. Very high quality wood but sticking out. Will def improve with time.

Continues to be a good reliable choice. Lighter with pronounced oak but not as heavy as this wine when it ages.

Great and will be excellent with more age. Light but still oaky. Balanced. This wine changes considerably each year it’s left in the bottle. Given higher cave prices good to stock up and then store.

Bright and acidic. Okay too. Better after having sat for a few years but still very good and balanced. Refreshing.
