Bright, sunny fruit. Light weight. Quite dry. Bright acid with a tiny hint of honey and flower petals. Mellowed a bit with age, but still youthful. A bit too light.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Nicely mature, drinking great. Bright, warm red fruit a little candied. Smoky, resolved tannins, soy, a bit of elegance, good complexity. More advanced than I expected.
Drinking great. Good full red, bright fruit with a bit of sweetness and some leather. A fruit forward Bordeaux. Very nice, no rush to drink based on this bottle.
