Featherweight with good acidity, maybe fruit is fading just a bit. Showing a little bit of leather was not there in previous bottles. A hint of sous bois as well. Stable over time in the glass, but the last quarter of the bottle turned mousy, so don't save it over night. Drink now or hold a few years for more development, a matter of preference.

A beautiful Fleurie from a dream vintage. Fragrant with notes of violets, pink roses, bright cherry, raspberry and whiffs of herbs. Still very tight in the mouth. Medium expressed tannins with a blasting acidity. Great balance, long finish. Drink in a year to really enjoy.

I can easily see how this won't be everybody's favourite. But if you don't min heavy doses of brett in lighter wines...
