  May 28, 2016 - Rich ruby with a hint of brown at the rim and medium optical density. Wonderful intensity nose, with bright cherry, earth, and lifted florals, along with some savory smoked bacon notes woven in. Refreshing acidity, medium body, very dry, and with well integrated tannins, it shows an elegant, but rich mouthfeel that is smooth, yet clean. Flavours on the attack are bright red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and earthy mushroom, with a firm midpalate that adds clean pipe tobacco and florals to the still vivid fruit. The finish is long, with savory, smoky character above baking spices and earth-laden fruit peels. Very well balanced, with vivid fruit, refreshing acid, just enough tannin to clean up the finish, and a variety of interesting earth, smoke, florals, and spice to provide a ton of interest. Really nice bottle, and is drinking really well!
