Structure tannique encore un peu austère mais un joli fruité qui perce derrière. Une jolie découverte.

Brown sugar and potting soil, tart grape tomatoes and barely fresh red berries. Still got some pyrazine in the form of green bell pepper and tomato leaf. Delicious stuff.

Maple, minerals, red fruit. Hints of coffee and green pepper or tomato. Nice, but tasted at the tail end of a long night of drinking, so my palate wasn't quite up to snuff.
