Notably pale garnet with some bricking. The aromas are bright and lifted with notes of unripe strawberries and cranberries, a splash of red-wine vinegar, hints of green stems and a few mustard seeds. On the palate distinctly light-bodied at 12,5 % abv, with refreshing acidity supported by acceptable volatility, a fluid silky texture and the very lightest of tannins. Finishes with decent grip and good length. Obviously not the easiest vintage, though enjoyable for what it is - a red that drinks almost like a white. Now and over the next two.
