Tasting Notes
Initially oxidative and reductive at the same time, even a little vegetal, but developing well and then becoming more and more mineral, flint, redcurrant, increasingly clearing, red berryish, still fresh-fruity, wild strawberry. On the palate the wine is very dense, still full-bodied, fine-grained, lively acidity, a noble astringency based on the firm acidity, immensely young, almost still closed in certain motifs, compact tannin. Great length, a very vertical structure. An arc of tension with certain ageing potential for further decades.
