  I decanted this for a good 2 hours before I started drinking. Lots of reduction hanging around. Dark red fruit on the nose which became more austere the longer it was open. Palate of red fruit, some herby subtle notes (juniper?) with a bit of minerality on the finish. Refreshing acidity and some tannins that settle towards the front of the tongue. These are all day, one notes, and we’ll see what the second half of the bottled has to offer.
  
  Edit day 2: took a bit but then, all of a sudden things were more open. Some spice, flowers, red crunchy fruit, mineral finish. Elegant. Enjoyable and worth some contemplation.

  Dark berries and cherries on the nose. On the palate a little reserved. After a few minutes fresh cherries, blackberries, plum and some wet earthy notes. Fresh acidity. Medium bodied. Medium concentrated with a good complexity and a medium long finish. Good Premier Cru which needs a few more years in the bottle to develop a little more.
