Cassis, jalapeno, plum, earth, decaying vegetation, flowers, and hints of tobacco and sweat on the nose. Tart cherries, red cherries, plums, dried cherries, earth, and herbs on the palate. Terrific acidity, fine yet still present tannins, long complex finish. Amazing that this wine is still so fresh. The fruit is still overall pretty youthful. The pyrazines are very strong however, and that may turn off some people, though with air the greenness backs off a bit. Still, wow what a wine.
