Colour: pale ruby, translucent
Nose: medium intensity, primary, youthful. strawberry, raspberry, cherry. Strawberry jam. Red fruit candy. Hint of savoury character - cough syrup? Stems? Carbon dioxide from the bubbles initially overwhelming when first opened & poured.
Palate: dry, medium(+) acidity, medium(-) tannins, aggressive mousse (not aggressive moose!), medium alcohol (11,5%), medium bodied. Medium intensity, medium length finish. strawberry, raspberry, cherry. Strawberry jam. Balsamic vinegar. Wet stone, slightly saline edge.
Conclusions: good to very good. Can drink now, but maybe suited to short-term ageing? P&P (pop&pour), not decanted.
