PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs, bottle from secondary market -med dark red minimal bricking -quite pretty aromatics with warm earth brambly red fruit wet stone early hints of sweet decaying forest floor -med/med+ acidity kicks in near the finish, med weight expansive on the palate with good depth if lacking a bit on complexity, some somber dark red fruits and bitter apple peel on a mostly soil base, med but soft tannins on long-ish finish -drinking very well now on its plateau in early maturity, nose currently outshines the palate, I would expect this to continue drinking well for another 5-10 years and might even improve slightly if it gains complexity while further shedding tannins

Quite nice, not amazing. Soft, light bodied. The nose and front palate very perfumed,. Taste also led with acid. Relatively short finish. Wants food, but easily overwhelmed.

Typical for the vintage, but good with food.
