Slightly murky, pale red, hint of orange tint. Smells, and tastes 'natural', and while not undrinkable, the VA doesn't really help the varietal characteristics shine through. Not for me

2016. 2 Stunden dekantiert, über 2 Stunden Hälfte der Flasche getrunken. Wild, ungestüm, etwas vorlaute Spontinase. Es zeigen sich dezente Walderdbeere und unreife Himbeere, aber die Säure dominiert, wirkt noch nicht balanciert, eher rustikal mit Ecken und kanten. Nicht die Struktur, Fülle und Finesse des Carnyx. Mal schauen, was morgen noch kommt. 89

This was a nice rendition of one of my favorite grapes. Not the fecund complexity of CRB, but lovely fresh, peppery red fruit with that hint of something like agave. If I had more I'd hold for another year to see what develops.
