CONCLUSIONS
Quality: good/very-good (possibly a bit too young to drink now)




I found the following vivino reviews useful :

1) Nice earth, leather, anise and mushroom elements that I normally don't find so well balanced at this price point. Slowly opened up to reveal more and more complexity. Definitely a wine to decant and let develop over the course of a meal.

2) The nose is full of flowers and fruit. Pretty to look at and delightful to drink. The red fruits dominate, perhaps cherry first followed by raspberry. Drink now or hold in a controlled environment for years.
