cloudy dark ruby and medium body in the glass. a bit of reduction blows off to display a nose of black cherry with notes of baking spice, crushed dried herbs and a bit of soil. fresh, juicy and structured in the mouth, it already shows complexity with the fruit laced with mushroom and soil accents. balanced acidity, polished tannins, and very good length round up the experience.
drinking well now with good upside potential.
14% AbV; ~25% whole-bunch inclusion in open-top fermenters; aged for eleven months in French oak (15% new); then blended and aged in tank an additional six months before bottling.

Medium-light ruby hue. Reductive nose (burnt match). But after the first taste, it reveals aromas of cherry, earthy, tar, vanilla, with a hint of strawberry. Medium-minus body with plus acidity. Rounded and plush. Wonderful palate of red fruit.
