"All the violets and summer flowers are blooming! And the velvety tannins deftly underline the good concentration on the medium-bodied palate. Long, very well-structured finish. Only just beginning to reach its youthful best form. Matured entirely in 2,000-liter casks of neutral oak. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."
