Still very young color with a clear ruby core, and only a streak of brown at the rim. Fresh and salty nose with fine tones of strawberries, raspberries and a hint of vanilla and dark chocolate. Medium bodied attack, the a mid palate with lots of sweet strawberry fruit combined with a high acidity. The aftertaste is lifted by the acidity and fine fruit, but also weighed a bit down by some rather rustic tannins. The finish is fruity, fresh and dry. Very concentrated, extremely long, but a - as said - bit rustic. Still young, but will probably not become much better with age.

Random wines tasted during service (Oinoscent): Flash decanted and sampled from a customer -//- The wine shows medium intensity, spicy, oaky, ripe fresh cherries, currants, decadent, a touch toasty. Palate shwos tart profile, elevated acidity, almost underripe red cherries, medium tannins, again earthy, oaky, spicy, clove hints next to cinnamon, meidum body and finish Needs time to open up

Very youthful and quite tight, showing a glimpse of red berry and some meat. Chalky of structure and long and dry.

Grand Burgundy Tasting (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): White pepper. Lots of spice. Okay.
