I'm glad to say that I enjoyed my second bottle more than the first. The usual charm of this bottling was now there in addition to the lively fruit and minerals. A few extra months may have been beneficial but I think it was mainly a pairing effect; this time a fish pie with capers to add some sharpness, which acted as a good foil for the wine bringing out some fragrance. Good.

This is a slight disappointment compared with recent previous vintages, leaner and more simplistic. There is still abundant lively fresh fruit and some minerals but the usual youthful charm is absent. Perhaps the pairing, veal with mushrooms in a creamy sauce, called for a more sophisticated wine type and my second bottle may delight me more. Only quite good like this.

Decent complexity but still a red fruit bomb. There is a pleasant inky note. Grape candy and crayon on the nose. Very gastronomic.

Eminently drinkable with soft red fruit and faint earth already. Balanced and easy to enjoy.
