Drunk 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 you get aromas of ripe red fruit, the attack is straightforward with a nice freshness due to well-controlled acidity, then it's time for the well-melted tannins..... this is a cuvée to drink within 4/5 years.

Very correct for a bottle at this price, still moderate! 2015, a good year, I think.
