Beautiful pale salmon colour, vibrant floral, citrus, hint of licorice nose, high alc 15.3% impeded flavours of strawberry, red fruits even after 30 mins in glass, out of balance, long, intense hot finish

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is sediment in the bottle. The body is light/thin. The wine still has a bit of a juicy texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity. As this was past it's drinking prime I was a bit surprised on the inital nose...cherry, cranberry, bit of earth, still a fair amount of brightness but no balance... should at least be a med finish but fell short to a light finish. Unfortunate that I left this bottle too long as I found previous bottles perfectly okay for a simple, very inexpensive CdR.

A little bit of Burgundian style on a Saturday night, dry and delightfully serious. Extremely fresh green citrus, tart green apple, popcorn, beautifully integrated toasty oak on the nose, crisp mineral steel, green citrus, lime, nutty medium creamy smooth body with a steady long finish. Traveling out this weekend to get more:)
