"The wine is beautiful on both the nose and palate, offering up a very, very pure and red fruity bouquet of cherries, Morey St. Denis-like notes of beetroot, raw cocoa, a nice touch of the stems, superb soil signature and just a whisper of oak spice in the upper register. With air, a hint of blueberry also starts to show on the nose. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and still marked a bit by its youthful weediness, with a nice touch of sappiness at the core, tangy acids, laser-like focus and a very, very long, vibrant and moderately tannic finish. This is going to be a terrific wine when it is ready to drink, but it needs a bit of bottle age to soften up and blossom properly."
