Wow.. 2021 vintage was quite a hard one. But right of the bat this smells so fresh and lively, so clean. Red fruit, smokey, cinnamon, nutmeg. Ever so slighty reductive note of struck match on the nose. Great skeleton of acidity, fruit freshness and ripeness, has a good life ahead of itself. Beautiful.

Wine has a brownish hue to it. Clearly new world tones in the nose — pinot noir? Also cooked fruit, bit of burnt hair. No acidity or tannins. Not unpleasant but wouldn't recommend.

Brought home from Bera tasting last year in September. Previous bottles disappointed a bit but this one didn't.
Primarily salty licorice, also a good whiff of mint (for the Dutch people: 'schoolkrijt'-candy), even dark fruit. Very umami. Drank slightly cooled next to a ragu a la bolognese from a Bordeaux glass.
Really came together since last time, one bottle left gonna leave that one for at least one year. Drink now — 2027-ish.
