Age might have mellowed this a bit, but it still tastes very fresh and youthful 6 years in. Soft, plush, floral, only mildly tannic and moderately acidic. Medium garnet color and simple nose of black cherries and wildflowers. Ripe, dark berries, baking spices, and grassy, floral notes on the palate. Cranberry, mineral, and saline on the finish. Maybe a tiny bit of red apple character to the fruit. Friendly and easy drinking.

Good intense scent of sweet, dark berries, especially cherries. There are both slightly sweet licorice and chocolate flavor that blends beautifully with the notes of the sweet berries and vanilla.

Fragrant aroma of plums and menthol. Clean flavors of plums and sour cherries, firm and lingering sour cherry finish, with a bit of a mineral bite at the end. Pure, with lots of fruit up front, and interesting complexity on the back end. Unusual and enjoyable.
