Fair/Good on my scale. Ruby to the rim. Tobacco, earth and violets on the nose. A bit astringent on the front, with cassis and dark fruit finish. Pretty good for the price. <Wow/Very Good/Good/Fair/Plonk>

Taste: at first rather astringent, later rather much nice fruit. No complexity or depth. Two years ago I’ve opened the first bottle of two, and the wine was clearly to tannic then. The astringency stayed also with this bottle, which seemed related to a certain “steely” bitterness. I assume, that the tannins still are not fully resolved. At the second day a bit better with food. When I would have more bottles, I would keep them for another one and a half to two years. (potentially 85-86?)

Rubis violacé. Odeur de mie de pain et de petits fruits rouge. Soupçon de bretts. En bouche bel équilibre ebtre tannins, acidité et fruité. Framboises. Finale fruité. C'est agréable mais la sensation de sucre d'orge peut déranger à la longue.
