Should be decanted for sediment if nothing else. Time has done well for this wine. A little funkiness blew off quickly leaving a balanced red fruited and finely spiced wine. Good acidity and integration. Might lack deep complexity but it is quite nice at this stage.

I think this is getting a low score because it’s understated. I found it to be subtle and energetic with floral, citrus and stone fruit notes with a saline edge.

Still youthful pale. Just a gorgeous blend of citrus, spice and minerality. Might be underrating this.
