As always, needs decanting to allow the CO2 to work its way out - it’s quite prickly at first. It’s not as reduced as in some other recent vintages though, and although there is some reduction funk, it blows off and by two hours in the wine is completely clean. Lovely nose showing the unique to this place blend of bright pomegranate, red currant, and blood orange fruit, along with dried rose. The nose is focused and wi th good detail. There is some flesh to the palate but that’s relative to other recent vintages - this will never be a big wine. Good acidity and balance, highly drinkable. Seems like a very good vintage for this wine.

very reductive at first.. cherries and light herbs.. I have the sense this would have been quite a bit better with a few hours in a decanter

A bit weak and some effervescence. Drinkable, but I would not buy again. I have one more bottle, I will wait a few years to try it.
