This is a lovely bottle of wine that’s just coming into its window. Pure, pretty red berry fruit, harmoniously backed up by lots of earthy nuance. Good length for a village wine. Tertiary characteristics, while present, take a back seat to the fruit at the moment. A very nice accompaniment to some duck legs.

Délicieux ! J'ai hésité pensant que c'était un peu tôt pour l'ouvrir, mais le vin était joliment expressif. Avec juste un peu de fermeté. Belle robe soutenue et belle présence de petits fruits rouges acidulés, cerise.

Nose: Black cherries, powdered strawberries, scorched earth, tar, stems, black pepper. Palate: Tart cherries, smoke, crushed stones on the attack. Big, puckering acidity on the mid-palate and slightly drying tannins immediately followed by red berries bridging the finish. Cinnamon spice, red berries, powdered strawberries linger on the finish.
Not a bad wine. Defined by tart, lightweight berries that fall on the red to dark-ish spectrum. Needs time to settle down.

Still excellent, not sure how many years left though. On the lighter side. Elegant. Not powerful. Very good.
