  Light and transparent ruby. Nose of toast, red cherry, raspberry, mineral and coffee. Refreshing acidity, flavoursome with a long finish. Sour plum, chocolate and almond. Tannin is still abundant but fine. It can certainly cellar for a few more years as it's still primary at the moment. More than what I've expected!

  Medium color with just a hint of brick.
  Slightly rustic. Spicy pepper, clove and cinnamon. Blue fruit with an underlying & subtle meaty edge.
  Savory, spice palate. Tannins are bordering chalky and powdery. Medium weight.
  The old world is just poking out in this wine.

  Through Coravin
  
  Complexe nose of black berries, smoke, mint, and spices. Smoke and charcoal and sooth, very complex...
  
  Palate is bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced, great acid driven wine, tart and sharp. Still good tannins to hold it, the style is very interesting as it is fruit driven with a bit of spice, getting warmer the wine turns very much into pepper... Still it has a "primeur" side to it that might confuse some drinkers... don't expect here a dense and big style... It s all the way around

  Medium crimson in colour with an opulent start to the nose displaying an array of fragrant red fruit like raspberries and wild strawberries followed by candied cherry and sweet spices. There is a lovely floral edge and youthful vibrancy all across the palate. In contract to its playful nose the palate is savoury, even rustic in character. This is youthful and accessable. Long with obvious heat on its aftertaste.
