Unusually, the 2012 is very upfront on the nose, offering pure, red fruits suffused with violet and rose. Normally, at this stage, there is a darker edge and a very classical structure. This, on the other hand, is a flighty piece, with its heart on its sleeve, tasting as if it will hit the ground running on release, a product of the vintage. The palate is similarly advanced and accessible, with little in the structure to suggest it is going to hit those teenage-type years of truculence, very easy-going and a lovely food wine.
