Saturday, March 12, 2022 - Quite expressive on the nose and seemingly in early maturity with wonderful bright and crisp red cranberry and currant fruit aromas playing off of hints of earth, stem, violet, and a subtle hint of backing spices and lurking blue marl minerality. Air highlights the baking spice though they remain fairly restrained. Delicate in the mouth, tense and fresh with fine grained tannins, slightly prominent acidity and decent length. On the delicate side of Burgundy though well perfumed in the mouth with tart red berry strawberry and rhubarb flavors. Lacy and fine, fun, almost, then this lacy but tensile structure kicks in holding everything together. To be served with a slight chill alongside grilled fish and it seems well suited for its fate. Unremarkable but satisfactory and with room to improve.

24 hours from half a mag corked on the counter: More reticent than yesterday but with attractive purity to the subtle layers of floral, underbrush, crunchy red fruit, and stony aromas. This has gained weight since yesterday and comes off as decidedly more tannic and mineral today. Added some length as well. Very delicate, pure, high toned and refreshing. It’s not terribly complex but there is some depth here and the inner mouth perfumes are attractive.
