November 28, 2020 - 30% 115, 25% Pommard, 23% 777, 16% Wadenswil, and 6% 667. Aged 12 months in 1/3 each new French oak, 1st and 2nd passage.
Decanted with minimal sediment.
Aromas show smoke, gun powder and mineral details in front of the bright red cherry, cranberry and wild raspberry notes along with scents of black tea, rosemary, pine forest and earth with hints of pepper, florals and spice.
On the palate, bordering on high toned acidity with moderate yet masculine tannin structure. Flavors lean towards the darker side with black cherry, pomegranate molasses and bramble berry with earth, smoke, black tea, mineral, and singed rosemary notes that bring in touches of pepper, spice and cola. The finish lingers highlighting the smoky mineral play.1,308 views
