Medium dark red, subtons of purple, few legs coming down quickly. At taste too dry and slightly bitter. We had it with Risotto a la Toscana and the wine taste was stronger than the risotto I will give it another chance and taste tomorrow. It may open up.

30 minute decant in the glass through a powered aerator. Deep purplish red with a brick red rim. Nose of violets, slate, oak and earth. Taste is sweet on the entry (not fully ripened blackberry) before turning more earthy (mushrooms, slate, tobacco and dry rock). Some citrus like taste and effervescence, particularly on the finish. Medium plus tannins but well integrated tannins give it a pleasant chalky dryness. About 91.

Nice, crisp BDX blend much in need of time. Black and red currants, some citrus, apple skin and soil on the nose. Plenty of structure, solid balance. Fresh and vivid today, but also rather coiled. HOLD. recommended
