Beautiful bouquet with red berries, garrigue and a slight touch of barnyard. Same on the palate, a bit development which adds to the complexity and pleasure. Beautifully balanced wine with fresh acidity.

Chocolate, coffee and rose hips in the bouquet. On the palate a lot of herbs and spices. Nutmeg, pleasant oak, sweet licorice rout, chocolate etc. Good acidity and the tannin still has a soft and lovely bite. Concentrated and complex, delicious wine. Ready now and no great hurry.

Yeasty bouquet, special. On the palate a bit sparkling. Refermented in the bottle. Not undrinkable, but this bottle was not as it was meant to be. No score.
