Relatively youthful red, little or no browning, light colour; toasty oak and vanilla on the nose, spicy, floral, modern style, confit red fruit, clearly 100% destemmed, nice typicity; silky and rounded palate, sweet fruit and a lot of oak, youthful, attractive and open, structured; very resonance and length, but again with a lot of oak. Needs more time.
