Mostly consistent with previous note ... and still in great shape.
Day 1: Opened for about 90 mins, it shows modest signs of age, vivid strawberry nose, and great balance on palate. Lively fruit still in evidence balanced by robust acidity and evident but smooth tannins. Perfect with a rustic polenta dish.
After 3 days under vacuvin: Showing some bricking and less fruit, but it's still quite good with excellent balance.

1st of 6, opened an hour, perfect cork and level - pale, transparent ruby, browning rim; attractive quite nuanced bouquet with wild strawberry, rose, cherry and mineral notes; medium bodied, ok length and persistence, tad watery, more simple flavours as yet on palate than nose, core notably sweet, more attractive as drink (ie no rough edges) than rating might imply, some upside, 10 years perhaps but not for long haul in this vintage. VG+ (16.5).

1/4. Medium (+) garnet color. Smells like barnyard funk, mushroom, black cherry, graphite, newspaper, cotton candy, and potpourri and rose floral that's more prominent as it's been open. Like that. Light to medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, with flavors of cherry, black tea, lemon, and minerals. Nice balance between fresh and rustic, and nice minerality. I like this. 👌

Charming sweet fruited but very one dimensional and short finished compared to previous bottle

A good accompaniment to mushroom risotto. The rusticity needs food. No hurry needed.
