The wine shows high intensity in the nose. The wine shows ripe red cherry notes, currants, earthy, sweet spice notes. The wine shows oak notes, a bit warm, a few herbal vegetal elements in the back. In the palate, the wine shows med body, the tannins are a bit dry, red cherry notes, red currants, a few bitter notes, almond husk, some warmth here too, thin oak frame, refined (for the style) but lacking depth, med finish. Showing a certain minerality adding to its freshness
The wine shows red berry notes, some vegetal elements too, marmelade notes, dark berry notes, warmth. Palate follows the profile of the nose, ripe red berry notes, dissolved tannins, med body, med acidity. The wine shows again the vegetal elements of the nose, very straightforward, fruit forward, minty, med finish. The wine after a lot of time and air, will open up, sweet spices, the oak gets thicker, menthol, some bell pepper notes as well.
The wine shows very dense profile, dark berry notes, coffee, some chocolate notes, a bit smoky, agian some vegetal bell pepper notes, a bit warm, red currants, maraschino sweetness. In the palate, the wine shows a fruit forward approach, red and dark cherry notes, big tannins but not aggressive. The wine seems to be focusing in the top and front part of the palate, minty/menthol freshness, a few sweet spice notes, mainly clove, med finish With time, the bell pepper comes stronger in the nose.
The wine shows high intensity in the nose. The wine is heavily focused in flint/reductive notes. The fruit lies in the back, citrus notes, lemon notes, dry almond notes. The wine shows some orange floral notes. In the palate, the wine shows the same profile but with more fruit, citrus notes, nutty, toast, dry, high acidity, med body, lemon notes, mineral, long finish There is a savoury/charcoal/cured meat nuance here, making it very inviting
The wine shows ripe stone fruit, almost melon notes, high intensity, nectarine and peach. The wine shows some citrus notes next to flint, give it time and it groes in the glass. In the palate, the wine shows ripeness again, stone fruit, rich, high acidity, tight and austere (compared to the nose), very dry but inviting and fun to drink. Despite all this, there is an airy finesse here, vibrant, med to full body, long finish
