Still slightly yeasty on the nose, light smoky notes, vegetal, herbaceous and mineral notes, light yellow fruit, floral traces. Firm, cool, juicy light fruit on the palate, still noticeably youthful, fresh vegetal and herbaceous aromas, lively acidity, ripe tannins provide a firm grip, prominent mineral notes, very delicately sweet traces, still slightly lemony on a very good, firm finish. Rather closed at this stage, definitely still needs time to mature.
