Upon decanting for two hours, the wine exhales a deeply fruity perfume, highlighting plums and cherries with a refined touch. The palate reveals a well-judged equilibrium of vibrant fruit and tangy acidity. It carries a pronounced structure indicative of its origins, showcasing a deliberate and poised personality that endures on the palate.

Served by simply popping and pouring. It showcased smooth tannins, providing a pleasant mouthfeel. The fruity body of the wine exhibited good weight and structure, with flavors of plums and blackberries. While the acidity was on the lower side, it still maintained a balanced profile. While it paired well with food, it lacked the complexity and finesse.

The tannins are smooth and all nicely integrated, making it surprisingly approachable for its age. The fruity aroma is charming, although it could use a bit more oomph to really grab your attention. On the palate, the different components don't quite come together seamlessly, but it's still enjoyable to sip on. Give it a few more years in the cellar, and this wine is bound to level up. With some extra time to age, it'll become even more fantastic, with flavors blending together.
