Monday, January 15, 2024 - Popped and poured into a Glasvin Expression.

Immediately friendly nose of cherry pie and vanilla ice cream. After time some herbal hints emerge. The palate is similarly rich (deep-)red fruited, with some pastry and creaminess nodding to obvious oak influence. What keeps it from cloying is a strong pull of acid that sort of slices down the middle, and a back end of well-integrated but firm tannin that adds fine grained texture to what was otherwise quite soft. The finish is not the longest, but this is a quite enjoyable drink for the first real snow of the year.
