  Beautiful bouquet of fresh red fruits (cherry, pomegranate, and strawberry), florals, and a kick of spice. Young, a big coiled, but approachable; we did not decant or otherwise prepare the wine — off with the cork and into the glass, followed over 2 hours.
  
  Nice entry with a bit of black tea. Acidic backbone to mellow over time. Long finish which is quite well integrated. I’m very impressed by how strongly the WS Verte bottling show. Great vineyard sources and restrained approach.
  
  ETA: saved a glass for night 2. It didn’t shake any of the “weight”, but the red fruits are a bit more restrained

  Fantastic. Wish I had more.
  
  Agree with @Bjweiss's note below.
  
  Drank next to some great burg and in no way was second fiddle.
  
  Opens arrestingly with earth and spice. Then transforms into the fruit and flowers. Keeps evolving over 2.5hrs when we finished it.
  
  Decanted immediately, but not sure it needed it.

  Opened with reduction and a little spritz. Decanted and swirled took care of it. Red fruited, structure leans on acidity rather than tannin, really lovely wine for near term consumption.

  Floral and red fruit on the nose and in the mouth. Thins out quickly on the core towards a quick finish. Agree with other revierer, this really opens up on day 2 and should probably just be opened 24-36 hours before drinking.
