  Drinking well. Cherries with earthiness and a refreshing acidity. Still have years to improve reach full maturity.

  Beautiful wine with light red berries and a high level of acidity. It's not ready yet, still some tannins lurking and the nose is a bit shy. It has plenty of stuffing and I'm sure it will turn out great.

  Medium deep color with a brownish shine and an orange rim, very slim.
  It does not give itself away. It is not w very expressive Gréves, but obvious development is detected through an almost leathery tar and mushrooms coming forward.
  There is more concentration on the palate and still a tight acidity, although the acidity no longer carries the finish. It is not overoaked, but there is a lot of sweetness on the front and midpalate. Some minerality gives the wine its elegance, but the finish is not that long and it is too bitter. The tannins are somewhat harsh. It is a ver good wine, that is not able to show the quality of the Gréves terroir. It lacks density and concentration.
  Still very enjoyable, but drink within the next 5 years.
