  Pnp- Wild strawberries, delicate and elegant- sous bois, light extraction noted- leather, smoke and hints of tar. Medium long finish leaves you wanting more. Light body but big on flavor. Curious to see how this evolves in the future.
  
  Day 2- gained substantial weight and presence- additional notes of plums. Extremely enjoyable and happy to have 2 more.

  Bright tart cherry, flowers and berries on the nose. A light and zippy wine that pairs well with fish and does well by itself.

  Drinking very well. Great clarity both visually and in the mouth. Some tannin that needs to resolve, but I am tannin tolerant. Tart cherry, licorice with excellent acid zip. Likely to improve with time. Love this vintage.

  Opened about an hour before first pour. Pale red color in the glass. Aromas include basic red fruits with what can only describe as something that reminds me of a freshly sliced crisp red apple. There is a bit of earthness as well.
  
  Tastes of strawaberry, perhaps pomegranate. Good crisp acidity and minerality. Everything rolls through the mid-palate nicely. The finish adds a twist with drying tannins, though not overly bitter.

  I love the clarity of this vintage. Opened one hour before drinking over two hours, then the rest after a night in the bottle in the cellar. Better on day one; great fruit and acid balance. Still very good on day two. Berries on the nose, tart cherry, plum notes on the palate. Light but zesty mouth feel with minerality. Clean medium finish. This has the balance to age, very pleasant now.
