Very youthful at 14 yrs old. Still mostly primary with plenty of juicy black and red cherries, kirsch, some clove and cinnamon spices, some damp earth, faint forest floor. Medium minus in body, very light tannins, medium acidity, flavors mirror the nose with the addition of some digestif-like bitterness. Very good and still going strong, though I wasn't totally blown away.

Deep ruby color. Nose of cloves, cinnamon, and red berries. Medium bodied on the palate, juicy and lively.
