Half bottle. Bright translucent red. Some hints of meat on the nose. Vibrant and crisp in the mouth. Spicy. Elegant. Feels young still with little secondary notes at this stage. Still fairly tannic. I would wait another 3 years.
Drink 2020-2030

Perfumed and quite delicate on the nose - earthy, spicy, pure berry fruit. Transparent and fresh on the palate - delicate, pure, with good acidity and a spicy finish. Showing nicely, but no rush. 90-92
