Popped and poured and enjoyed immediately, initially very chilled: success. Very savory nose where notes of iron and leather dominate and red cherry-driven fruit and floral notes take the back seat. On the palate it is very nicely textured with good volume while maintaining terrific freshness and drive. There are tannins here but they are perfectly ripe and grip just right, not taking anything away from the drinkability. The fruit on the palate is not massively intense which I quite like as it leads to a highly moreish and refreshing style. The lip-smacking finish is the cherry on the cake, this is a wonderful expression of this underappreciated variety. I can imagine it being richer in other vintages, though.

A good amount of white mould on and seemingly also in the otherwise good-looking cork. On the nose plentiful ripe-ish, almost jammy dark fruit, stemmy notes, some bouillon and a minor but weird lactic note. On the palate it is medium-bodied with a nicely rich mouthfeel. While dry and savory it comes off as relatively lush much to my surprise. No lack of structure here as this possesses solid acidity and fine-grained tannins. Things start off well but sort of fall off on the finish which is warm, jammy and roasted. The aftertaste is simply not nice. Not sure if this is a representative bottle - I asked the retailer about the mould and I reckon their answer will be along the lines of ”it is nothing to worry about”. If that’s the case then my conclusion is that this is just not a wine for me.

Way more mature than my previous bottle (Nomarcork-variation, eh). There is still fruit and it is by no means tired but it has dried up to a certain extent and lacks the depth and vibrancy of the previous bottle. Not bad but not something I would rebuy either.
