  Dinner at Wimborne. Drank in Grassl Cru. My bottle.
  Appearance is clear, very pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of iron, fragrant gamey meat, aromatic earth, red cherries. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), silky low tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of red cherries, strawberries, sweet earth, crunchy stones minerality, iron, saltiness. Savoury long finish with a bit of spice.
  Very good quality. Started off super aromatic and silkily expressive, though the fruits thinned out as it got more air in bottle over the course of the evening. Methinks in a lovely drinking zone now and better to savour it at this stage rather than ageing it longer.
