  Diam 30 closure, stupidly heavy bottle at 766gr.
  Fine fragrant form straight from pnp.
  High pitched floral and cherrie tones, with a spice lift, some iron. Light on the palate. Works its way through the 14% with ease. Best on day one. Ready to go. Funny with associations leaning on several other districts I come by more often, with Beaujolais, a bit of Loire Cabernet franc, some Etna. Does well in comparison.

  See my note from 19 March 2022.
  
  This has developed nicely over the past year, and the tannins and overall feeling of the wine are way more integrated now.
  
  Still giving it a 92, but the 93+ potential is still there with some more time...

  In der Base sattes rotes Steinobst, dazu viel Pfeffer, ein paar geröstete Kräuter, Leser und auch ein etwas animalischer Eindruck. Mit viel Luft minimal laktisch.
  
  Am Gaumen mit viel aber sehr geschliffenem Tannin, sehr saftige und extrem zuggebende Säurestruktur, angedeuteter Mineralik und etwas Bleistift-Graphit. Auch hier sehr klare rote Frucht und auch etwas Fleischsaft.
  
  Recht lang, insgesamt sehr poliert, aber eben auch superelegant.

  Vivid purple pink. So much smooth blue fruit! Blueberry jam, plum, liquorice, wild raspberry, pen ink, a touch of spice box, mountain air with pine needles. It’s lush but restrained. Probably drank it too young, but it’s so delicious now!

  4thWednesdays - April Showers (Texas Wine School, Houston, Tx): medium ruby
  Medium (+) nose of candied parma violets, black cherry, red cherry, bramble, liquorice, chocolate, dried thyme (from Sarah) wet earth
  Dry, medium (+) acidity, medium (+) tannin chalky , medium alcohol, medium (+) body, pronounced intensity (others got medium +) of candied parma violets, black cherry, red cherry, bramble, liquorice, chocolate, dried thyme (from Sarah) wet earth and long finish (others got medium +)
  Balance - yes
  Length - excellent length
  Intensity - optimal
  Complex - not yet
  Very good quality
  Suitable for ageing with tannin, and sufficient fruit to increase in interest as it ages
  
  Guesses:
  Saw a hint of purple and personally missed the dried herbs but the other flavors were consistent with a Beaujolais Cru and so I went for that.
  
  Mistakes:
  There is usually black pepper and allspice in wines from this grape.
