Nice and pretty SLB from a producer I enjoy a lot. Balanced, light, perfumed, and elegant without being too cerebral. Tart berries, earthy notes, rocks, dried flowers/herbs, a kiss of sandalwood. Lovely accompaniment with food and bright acid that worked well is tomato-based dishes.

Tart red fruit, Apple skin, dry earth, savory herbs. As it opens up the minerality comes to forefront. Not overly complex but a good intro to old world style points!

Pretty aromas. Simple. Tad green. Tired for its age.

Good tension and minerality, cherries, crushed flowers and a hint of spices. The new wood regime is more noticeable on this bottle but does not detract from an overall really good experience. Goes extremely well with food.

Color starting to show some oxidation with its relatively young age. Tart cherry, minerality, strong acid and grippy tannins, but a bit flabby through the finish. Light to medium body.

Tart cherry. Tasty but kind of weak on mid-palate.
