Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner at Le Crypto. FWIW, this was a touch reductive upon opening and just needed about 30min in large burgundy glasses but after that, this was fresh and beautiful. The 2021 pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of strawberry, red rope licorice, cranberry, dried red flowers, sous bois, and a gentle mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. After a sluggish start, this finished with a flourish. Drink now through 2036.
