89 Points

Saturday, March 20, 2021 - Not overly complex on the nose but good aromatics: lot of crushed red fruits, some spices, some herbaceous elements.
First impression on the palate is quite nice with lot of red fruits but on the cool side (no warm or overripeness). Medium- body and flavor intensity. Good acidity but tannins feel a bit green/stalky and finish becomes quickly a bit unpleasant and harsh. Still acceptable to drink at the moment.
Hard to predict potential ageeing. Tannins definitely needs time to integrate (if possible) and no tertiary aromas at the moment but not sure how the primary aromas will hold as they are not on the high side already: It is a bit austere at the moment. Will still try to wait 2-4 years still for next bottle.
