Tight and stalky, this wine has smoky red-berry fruits and a strong layer of acidity. Still young, it will certainly soften, although it is likely to remain light and lean. Drink from 2018.

The wine is stalky with a green element that suggests underripe fruit. Black currant competes with burnt flavors that will soften as the wine ages. Drink from 2017.

201185 pts
Smoky wood aromas are confirmed on the palate by a tough, wood-laden character. It's all spice and toast, leaving little room at this stage for fruit. That should come because the wine has weight and suggestions of rich berry fruits in the background.

This is a smoky, wood-aged wine, with a bitter toast flavor that smothers the fruit. It does have the fruit weight, so that toast flavor will certainly soften. But to judge by the intense wood character, this bottling will likely always have a severe edge.
