Sublime and refined, yet wild and interesting. Stalky tannins counterbalance its red fruit flavors and vivid acididy in a positively provocative way. Still youthful but drinking well already.

Unrivalled freshness and really cool tannins create a sort of post-modern style of Rioja here, which flirts with both Burgundy and Piedmont. Very, very clever oak treatment too. Bright finish.

Important gear. Olivier proves to the rest of us the incredible terroir that is far too often absolutely destroyed by wood. Incredibly elegant, aromatic, floral stuff. Delicate acids too. Proper wizardry.
