Incredibly smooth and easy drinking but lacking some structure and interest. Pretty expensive (£32) for what it is. Still plenty of time left. More considered note next time (2 down of 6).

4th of 6 bottles, drinking one approx. every six months.
Rim not showing any signs of age, ruby color with faint pink highlights. Med concentration, no gas no sediment. Nose is clean, youthful, fresh strawberry, raspberry, underripe blackberry. Rose petal, flower stem, hints of chalk, faint spices indicating neutral wood. Palate confirms nose, though fruit is subdued. Green strawberry, underripe raspberry, bitterness from stems, slightly coarse tannins. Med body, med acid, med plus tannins, med to med plus finish. Would be a nice Pinot from most places but not quite up to par for Burgundy. Still a nice oddball from the white zone.

Bottle 4 of 6. Light garnet color with hints of brick, bricking at the rim, fading to clear. Med minus concentration. Intense aromatics of dried rose petal, dried raspberry, strawberry, bramble and twig. Med plus acid, bright, but med intensity of palate; tart dried red fruit continues with more dark herb notes (coriander? fennel?) on the finish, though the tart acid creates a med plus finish, dry. Overall very delicate yet tart. Liking it a lot, will taste another in 6 mo.
