  Less open as the last one some months ago: cherries, soil and spices (cloves,pepper), pretty good stuff, but needs some air, drink or better hold a year or two.

  Dark cherries, soil and saline notes, quite dense with middle length. Interesting, good wine, which is drinking well. No one to wait any longer.

  Lys, klar rubinrød. Veldig forsiktig duft - bare såvidt jeg kjenner rene røde bringebær. Men det skjer mer på smak, det er ganske god konsentrasjon her og fin, ren frukt, stram syre og et lite tanningrep. Bittertoner som av knuste kirsebær i ettersmaken, og den sitter ganske lenge. Blindt ville jeg tippet en relativt enkel Bourgogne rouge. Savner litt mer frukt/fruktsødme, men jeg har ingen erfaring med Irancy. Kanskje det er sånn de er. Og per nå syns jeg ikke jeg kan gi mer enn 87 p. Litt skuffende.
  Men i Zaltoglasset! Der skjer det ting. Det lukter mer, og mer sødmefullt. Og jeg syns vinen utvikler mer kompleksitet i munnen også.

  13% alcohol.
  
  Beautifully luminous, translucent and quite youthful ruby red color with the slightest hint of vibrant purple. The sweet-toned nose feels open, playful and very slightly primary with aromas of black cherries, some candied notes of red gummi bear, a little bit of raspberry juice, light crunchy notes of redcurrants, a mineral hint of stone dust and a stemmy touch of savory wood. The wine is fresh and crunchy on the palate with a light-to-medium body and dry flavors of tart red fruits like cranberries and lingonberries, some sweet raspberry-driven fruit, light peppery tones, a little bit of ripe redcurrant, a hint of stony minerality and a lactic touch of creaminess. The overall feel is pure and harmonious with a very silky mouthfeel. The structure relies mostly on the high acidity, not on the soft and easy tannins. The finish is dry, clean and pretty long with the slightest hint of tannic grip and fresh flavors of brambly raspberries, ripe redcurrants, some cherry tones, a little bit of stony minerality and a lactic hint of creaminess.
  
  A very pure, poised and harmonious effort - although perhaps a bit too young: the wine is very primary and fruit-driven in style with the lactic notes of MLF still showing a bit. Most likely the wine could benefit from a year or two of further aging to get its game fully together. Not a challenger for any super-serious red Burgundy, but nevertheless a remarkably delicate and sophisticated example of Irancy. Shows wonderful combination of finesse and playful overall character. Lovely.
