  Clear darkest red --- Nose fresh, sourness, balsamic notes, cedar wood, black olives, some hay --- Palate fresh, soft, nice acidity coming through, dark fruit, some cherry, herbal notes, nice sourness, cherries, red currant, underbrush, some strawberry--- Finishes on tart aspects and minerality accompanied by fruity flashback. This is good vine, showing a lot while not being expressive but subtle.

  Dark cherry red --- Nose sourness, some vanilla powder, blueberries, almond, hazelnut chocolate, sour cherries, overall fresh --- Palate fresh, nice acidity, nice sourness, between sourness of vegetables and cherries, nice wood notes, shy and elegant wood notes, wonderful tannins, some earthiness, some mushrooms --- Finishing on fading fruit and acidity, again fantastic tart tannins. I like this vine a lot. Multi facetted flavour profile, very fresh, nothing too much, nice fruit, fantastic acidity and wonderful tannins. Youthful, big potential, captivating, classy. I do believe this vine will develop nicely and will surprise from year to year aging. Believe in 95 in the future, 92 for now.
