Drank in 04/20. Lovely balance on the palate with lovely fruit. Fresh, fruity, seductive, a little extra length and it was perfect.

this is a very pretty bottle. from the nose to the palate, the aromas are of ripe red fruit, the attack is frank with a nice freshness due to well-controlled acidity, then the tannins melt away..... this is a cuvée to drink within 4/5 years.
