Pretty decent, especially when one considers the price. A lot of red fruit here, especially on the nose. I could go for a little more flesh/substance on the palate, but this is pretty acceptable for a Wednesday night.

On opening this is very fresh with cherry scents and very bright acidity. Almost too bright. With air this settles down and smooths out. Strawberry, tea and cherry scents. The cherry note repeats on the palate with a bit of stemmy, tannin. Medium length and light tannins on the finish. Best with food. Last glass four days later, this has really smoothed out as the acidity has integrated and the black cherry fruit has been revealed. Still finishes with chalky minerality on a medium length finish.

Nose went gangbusters and was lovely and open for half an hour and then shut down hard. Not sure what to make of it. Excellent to start, though. Hold?

More red than the Domaine
More minerals on the nose
Mixed fruit with minerals, no green pepper - OK
