I’m at 92-93 here, but the bones here make me think this will likely improve a tad over the next few years. Sorry for the stained label!

This comes across as very Burgundian. Very little, if any, whole cluster use (which surprised me a bit). Translucent ruby in the glass. Brambly and slightly medicinal aromatically. Herb crusted strawberries and raspberries too. Sub 13% ABV, so this is light and refreshing, but it has more tannic bite on the finish than expected. High acidity. Definitely a food wine. Oak is untraceable. Very pure and vibrant red fruits, with black tea and plenty of red and purple floral notes. Enjoy now with a decant.

Much more refined than the Bohan-Dillon and somehow still a bruiser. Just my speed, just not sure it’s worth $80.
