Shared this bottle with great friends on NYE 2022. 90 minute decant. Delicate, feminine, and reserved. Pleasant yet elusive on the nose. Subtle red fruit, dry and smooth. This wine was present without stealing the show.

Bouquet of damp earth and forest. Flavours of red fruit - cranberry and cherry - quite punchy up front. Followed by slate and minerals. Tannins quite pronounced still at this point so keep in cellar for a while. Should be nice in a few years. Will update this note after wine has been open for a while.
Update - fruit notes definitely softened. Had this with paella. A nice pairing although the food made the tannins more pronounced.
