9.0

Lively and fragrant marking clear Burgundian notes, unmistakably PN. Bright red cherry (quite sweet) sweet spices, quite gravelly-mineral, smoky, oak, earthy. Showing good terroir. Still quite undeveloped on the palate, firm grainy tannin, lively vibrant acidity. Lovely length of meaty, smoky, oaky, red fruit, but still not resolved initially. Needs 3-4 years. Great wine in the making. Quite sour cherry. This will be 92+ in a few years
