Couleur assez soutenue, cépage clairement identifiable, cerise noire, légèrement épicé, bouche un peu métallique, tanins légers, manque de corps et de longueur, un peu décevant

Opened after a couple hours. Nose very muted at first and finally evolved while the palate was OK. Probably could use more time as the tannins are still a bit tight

After a bit of time, in the glass it shows a strongly perfumy nose - red flowers, frankincese, red-blue fruit - mulberry and acai - and again the strong leafy perfume, that spicy toasty oak married to soil.
On the palate, the fruit is on the more than midway down the ripe and rich scale, but there is still plenty of bright red fruit too, and a bit of sweet cherry on the finish.
There is a pleasant woodsy (forest floor with dark waxy green leaves) flavor, a touch of iron.
Overall fine now. Certainly can age but the level of improvement with age is likely to be not so impressive as to make it imperative to to demand further cellaring and forego the modestly exuberant youthful pleasure this wine is presently showing. Certainly no shame in keeping this 5-10 years though.
90-91.

Med red. Dark fruit and herb nose. Deep and intriguing berry and herb palate is firm, too. Very enjoyable tonite with a long life indicated.
