Pale ruby in the glass. Wonderfully bright aromatics - cherry, raspberry, cranberry, some sweet spices and some cardamom. Lightweight, but has firmness. Grippy tannins and high acidity with just the right amount of heat. Enjoyable now, but probably needs 2-3 more years in the bottle to show its true colors.

Opened an hour before serving. Slightly reductive start, but very little emerged on either nose or palate, even after a few hours in glass...other than fairly firm tannins. I wondered if this was slightly corked, given the apparently stripped fruit, but Ponsot modernist corks make that unlikely.

Very light color, light taste, high acidity. Little body, low tannins, sour cherry fruit. Not sure it will benefit from much age. 92 points
