Intense cherry, pomegranate and spice. Like, tons of it. Tannic and puckering, slightly drying finish. Needs lots of air, but doubt lots of time in the cellar will bring this into balance.

Loaded with dense aromas of cherry pie, raspberry, pomegranate and cranberry sauce laced with notes of allspice and nutmeg followed by rose hip, river rock, earth and cocoa dusted almonds. The palate shows great concentration of fruit, berry acidity and smooth, cocoa tinted tannins. Flavors show cherry pie, cranberry sauce, raspberry reduction and pomegranate that slowly give way to the notes of baking spice, floral bouquet, rose water, earth, salty minerals and light chocolate. The finish lingers.

Hasn't budged over the past 11 months. Needs air, not cellar time. A challenging wine, but it does wine me over.

Pommard and 777 clones
Ripe cherry nose continuing to palate. Long intense finish
