Bolle – Barrique Jean-Jacques Bolle 2012 – Vaudois

Red wine with a slightly evolved colour, light to medium ruby with a tawny rim. Quite perfumed nose, with rosehip, sweet red berries. No obvious oak. Some spicy notes, finely ground spices. It has a lighter structure on the palate, well rounded already, with integrated tannins. It offers sour red cherries, red berries, balanced by a medium-high acidity. Integrated alcohol and oak, with a quite soft and open texture already, medium towards long finish, keeps going for a while. Rather polished, it might have a few years of development ahead of it, but I think it drinks pretty well now in a rather fruity soft and subtle style.
