BYO Stock nye og gamle verden WORK IN PROGRESS : Lys, moden rød med svakt brunlig kant. Litt overmoden duft av jordbær på hell, animalske toner og en litt søtlig/parfymert duft av jasmin!

If this is served blind to me, this would be like a top flight New Zealand (cool climate new world?) pinot noir to me with a little more roundness and plush fruits. Good minerality and almost seems like slightly salted …
