Some minimal copper toning. Nice very gentle bouquet, against a light background of anise/thyme. Nice length, ripe berries, and ever so light tannins. Not as strong bodied as expected.

Translucent wine, no signs of aging, active tearing. In terms of bouquet, there was significant evolution as time went by. Initially, somewhat closed minerality developed to full fletch notes of mature red fruit. The taste was vibrant, leather with ripe strawberries and dried prune. Gentile tannins. Overall the wine offered an attractive complexity.

Delicious strawberry, hint of tabacco and peper. Needs to be decanted early. Nice balance, complexity and length.
