Medium ruby , wide quite watery light ruby rim . Quite perfumed sweet but not overripe red fruit, with rose hints and a slightly toasty note . On the palate the strawberry , raspberry , red cherry notes continue , quite rich and sweet. Tannins quite raspy with a slight bitterness noticeable . Ok acidity , just balances the quite rich and sweet profile . Ok length , with chalky hints. This comes across as quite young and does improve in the glass , though will need a bit of time to come together in bottle. It is not the freshest 2017 , nor particularly well balanced as the alcohol does seem a bit noticeable , just seems slightly heavy and fruit forward at the moment . I would leave this a further 5 years , and it will improve a bit further say 5 -8 years.

Very floral, red fruits and layered. Lacks a little weight on the back end but time will take care of that as i think it is beginning to shut down
