Deep ruby color. The aromas pop with this rich cherry ganache, strawberry jam, watermelon, with a complex blend of rhubarb, mint, tobacco, dusty earth, and some spiced tea. On the palate, this shows bright acidity and a juicy texture with chewy tannins and a mouthwatering feel throughout. Tangy black cherries, plenty of raspberries and strawberries, cherry pie, deep but so fresh and tasted pure. This one has a really cool signature of tobacco, rose hips, white pepper, rhubarb, some roasted nuts, clay and rocky soil, with this mineral-laden finish. Another really solid ager but so expressive and clear in its youth. A gem.

he nose wafts sappy plum, beet juice, black cherry, and kirsch. On the palate it’s full bodied with long, silky tannins and modest, well integrated acid. It’s fairly seamless at this young age and gorgeously structured. Flavors include beautiful black cherry, black plum, violet, tar, graphite, and nutmeg. A beautifully big bodied with, it puts a foot solidly in both refinement and power. This will benefit from a good five to eight years of quiet, dark cellar time.
