Still pretty tannic, needed more time in the cellar, finally opened up after about 24 hours.

Had tried first bottle 2 years ago, was closed and strange.
Since Jan 2021 I have had 3 out my case of six, and what a nice surprise! It is not particularly complex, but shows a nice balance (overall on the strong side) and drinks very well now. As said by someone else in another comment, this is a great « everyday » wine. Very good PQR.

On its way to maturity, secondary aromatics are starting to surface. With just a little coaxing, licorice, smoke, espresso, herbs and plums come out. Soft, vibrant and fruity, with a touch of oak in the finish, you can drink this now, or age it for another 2-4 more years.
