Drinking very, very well, and would improve with food. I was quite impressed with this wine. In the mouth the wine is tight, dry and lovely for this youngster, who reveals only hints of its character for the future. What a shame to have drunk the wine so young. The wine is drinking rather nicely today, but I found the finish was still a bit tight and angular.
Nose shows lovely, compote-laden red and black berry fruit with hints of balanced herb.
Extracted and sweet in the mouth with very intense fruit flavors, nice clean earth and lovely stuffing. Elegance is developing in the middle, and I expect it to find better balance in the next three to five years in cellar. A nice wine to purchase for the long term. So this is my first opportunity to retract my tasting notes and post new, more accurate ones. Nose was clean and fruity with hints of leesy richness, complex notes of tomato relish and sage.
