91 Points

Monday, November 23, 2015 - On opening this bottle exploded with classic sous bois aromas along with smoke and black cherries. The color is a dark plum.

On the palate this started with some sour cherry, an edgy acidity, and a bit of menthol. After about 30 minutes this started to come around losing the acidity edge. Very polished tannins with strawberries, black raspberry, and cranberry notes. Very smooth in the mid palate this finishes with a smoky minerality and subtle spice.

Enjoyable now. Very nice.

Day 2 - half the bottle was stored overnight in the fridge. Remained solid and added a chalky finish. 90.
