The oak treatment here is questionable, despite the high concentration of fruit. The wood tannins are just too much. Very drying finish. Very unbalanced. This was clearly made in the cellar, not in the vineyard. I’ll be surprised if this works out well in the end. 13.5% ABV (poor/*/13.5/83)
Soft, supple-textured and refined, the wine is floral in nature before moving to its core of sweet, ripe, soft and spicy, fresh, cherries, kirsch and earthy, bright, red plums. Drink this on the young side. Drink from 2023-2034.

Tasted next to 2018. A little bitter and quite linear. Well made. 88-89+
