Light, lithe and pretty but unfortunately overoaked for my taste. Can tell its nice barrels though...

Nice floral and berry scents on the nose, medium bodied with fruit and acidity balance and silky tannins
Should develop and age well

Last had this 4 years ago and it’s aging very nicely. More Burgundian than new world style - length is phenomenal and nuanced flavours are really good.

Drinking well already. Spice and vanilla immediately apparent, giving way to cherries and cream, a very long finish — at LUX Belle Mare, Mauritius

Excellent typical Burgundian style, light colour berries and savoury flavours
Nice nose, length balance and nice tannic and subtle on palate
