Tuesday, December 11, 2018 - Pretty wine is the perfect description, this bottle is starting to drink quite nicely now but it needs time to come out, i opened it at 6:30pm and left it in the bottle at 16-17 degrees, then started serving at 8:30pm, but it only really started to come out with a bit of swirling in the glass around 9:30pm, very gentle nose, fruit still live, but hints of secondary note, very territorial, notes of earth, but not the austerity you find in more important wines, very well balanced on the palate, good tannin structure, overall a well balanced bottle that I would have again and again, missing the WOW effect but a nice drink, very well priced.. and maybe with another 5-10yr in the bottle this can surprise positively
