Deep and dark color. Brilliantly fresh. Compact rim. Youthful.
Aromatics is of dark-skinned fruits and savory notes. Blackcurrant, black olive, bay leave, cured meat.
On the palate, it is quite expressive with little or no decanting air. Firm and finely dusty. Medium body and dry. The fruit profile is pronounced and lively. This shows plenty of crunched red cherry, cranberry. Mineral and saline. Spiced up nicely as well. Clean but lengthy fruit-forwarded finish.
Lively and crunchy are two adjectives popping into mind while drinking this wine. Somehow, it reminds me of structured cru Beaujolais, particularly Morgon. This is drinkable now with an upside I think, though I am inexperienced in this department to predict its future potential. 89 (+?)
