Cherries and plums with a slight greenness. Chocolate vanilla and nice acidity.

Started out as an super impressive 95 pts wine with a gorgeous cool nose and with blue fruits, black licorice and perfectly balanced wood tannins on the palate but unfortunately quickly faded and fell apart...

This showed sooo much potential the first 5min that I second guess myself and need to revisit!

Blackberry, black cherries, and plums upfront with vanilla on the finish. Smooth and easy drinking, would have done well by decanting but it opened up with time. Great wine from a great producer
