Aromas of yeast, lemon, biscuit, and apple. Medium-bodied, nose following through to the palate. Moderate finish, 30-35s, with apple and lemon notes. Will improve with cellaring.
Open and allowed to Audouze for 24 hours. Dark ruby/black colour; opaque at the centre. Aromas of tar, blackcurrant, licorice, plums, and earth. Medium-full bodied, tannic, with mint and dark fruit. Still restrained. Dry, moderate finish, 30s, a little puckering, with dark fruit. Obviously too young, but a treat to try. Bury it in the cellar, as it will improve substantially.
