Chalky, elegant, quite intense, but lighter on it's feet than previous. So much clear cut red fruit here, a precise linear style. Still young, but early drinking window has opened. #AarhusVinselskab

In it's drinking widow. Will hold on it's plane of maturity, but not likely improve. Well balanced with good fruit and acidity.

Doing what Clos Mouches does. Where it should be at this point for an '05. Just starting to drink, but optimal zone is still a few years off.
