Nose smells very natural. Very funky. Like Natural Wine TM. Not sure I’m that into this! Older vintages of this less natty. I’m a 7.9 on the nose for now. Palate is elegant, ripe and complex. Big tannins that are juicy. Nice palate but not special. Tannins become quite dry at the end. Nose becoming a bit more candied and confectionary. Quite elegant and juicy. Great energy. But at the end or the day this is lacking.

Light color and flavors. Think finesse. Tannins are light on day one and smooth on day two. Pleasure drinking wine for sure. TBL
