Pale purple with clear rim. Slow moving legs. Clear. 5
Nose is dusty like a nice Chinon. Blue berries, plums and blackberries, violets and black pepper. Super clean but not super open on PNP. Improved with about 2 hours of air. 12
Palate is bone dry and delicious. Medium bodied and confirming nose. Tannins are nicely resolved and the acidity is right where it needs to be. Stony mineral and floral finish. 17
Really enjoyable lingering finish. Delicious. 7

Full ruby color. Aromatics of plum and blueberry, dried violets, sage, leather and sous bois. Fresh and snappy fruit on the palate, richly textured with a secondary core of dark flowers, root spices, black tea and bitter cocoa. Well-structured with verve, round full tannins and ample closing depth. Very nice.
