  Tasted double blind. This is quite tight at the moment and has not found a beautiful balance. The fruit retracted a bit. I would lay it down for a few more years.
  
  TN: Rather muted nose. On the palate red berries and spices, just a touch of earthy notes. Straightforward, precise but a bit simple. Not much hard edges, high acid, overall not balance and charming.
  
  Decanting: Not decanted. Maybe a long decant (2h+ hours) would have helped here but the fruit is locked away at this point. Better wait.

  Blind tasting. This was very young still, closed and tannic. Material is there, but give this time till 2026.

  full of redish fruits, clear and elegant
  
  acidity very high and intense, this was almost watery but still had the backbone of the red fruit a the touch of wood. no brainer wine that you could open every day. was lacking complexity, which is not always a downside.
  
  got a lot better with air, and opened up. would recommend to give it a 2-3h decant.
  
  I really liked the style.

  Tasted blind. The fruit profile contained sour cherry fruit, initially with a more red berry twist to it, but with aeration becoming more dark and plummy. A lot of acidity and not what I would call palatable. Someone did suggest however that this was probably in dumb phase and somewhat closed.

  Young and very bright on the fruit , sharp red fruit and albeit the wine is not difficult it is still not at its full stride and lacks complexity which we felt would come given a few more years. Patience here. 89-90 for now
