Good colour, very young. Fresh and lively. Leans toward the rustic-tannic side but in a good way as it is supported by ample fruit on the nose and on the palate. Very enjoyable. I think this should still improve with some cellaring but probably not too long though as it lives off the good fruit. I can imagine this wine is excellent in summer, slightly chilled with a BBQ.
Just a heads-up: The bottles do not have a capsule but are sealed-off with a wax or wax-like cap. This is inconvenient as little pieces of the wax may drop into the wine when opening.

Violet-red colour, very young. Rather flowery-forward nose. Even a bit sweet perhaps? Medium weight. Fruity. Good balance, well-integrated ripe tannins. Not complex at this time. Perhaps lacking a bit of "bass" and depth? Still young but already drinks well. Should age well for another 5 years for sure. A clean, quality wine.

This already gives the impression of being old, in colour, nose and taste. Only tannic and accidic with no good attributes to counter-balance. This wine is disappointing. Also did not improve after one night in the fridge. I think it is just not good and worth the bother. I will not buy again and advise to avoid.
