Open opening, I thought the nose was dominated by florals (violets) and blue and black fruits. With time, this added some brine and crushed olives. No meatiness to this though, it really is the fruit that dominates here. Pure fruit, lovely acidity and somewhat soft tannins. It works to make this very pleasurable to drink on fruit and freshness but shouldn’t be paired with something too assertive food-wise. Lovely bottle.

The soft tanins kind of convinced me this would be better young…
