An enjoyable weeknight sipper, this is very aromatic after some air, with green herbs, soil and black cherry notes; Palate is still somewhat austere, suggesting this could use a few more years to fully integrate

Mulchy, tomato leaf, sauteed green bell pepper, tea leaf and raspberry nose. Smells like an herbarium. Palate has an herbal coolness about it, with a seam of blueberry, minerals, green olives, and funky damp soil. There's still some tannin to soften here but a terrific inner sweetness tucked behind it that betrays all the greenness. A very enjoyable wine to swirl and sniff, somewhat less fun to drink.

rather tight and ungiving when opened - but after 30mins in the decanter opened up very well. pepper and cherry / raspberry fruit - very fresh. Certainly no rush

Nez de terre fraichement retournée, de fruits rouges mûres à point, de poivron, de humus et de "bubblegum". La bouche est bien balancée et démontre une fraiche acidité. On y retrouve les mêmes flaveurs qu'au nez. Se termine sur une saine amertume. Meilleur bouteille que la dernière.

This is drinking very well today. Love the aromatics and cool weather style without any hard edges or overt green character.
