Beautiful nose of cherries, red fruits and spice. Good backbone of acidity
On the palate, there is some initial softness accompanied by cherry notes with judicious oak in the background. Tannins are still very present providing some constraint - but still a tasty wine that creates salivation

From the go, a delightfully expressive nose showing crystalline red fruits, spices, mineral, some Gevrey-like animal notes. Fine underlying acidity. Seems like a real beauty. But it quickly closed up in the glass, alas. Revisited the following day it was quite painfully young and tannic, closed and awkward.
