    November 24, 2022 - Deep ruby w/ fallow pink edge in color. Pungent nose of cherry, rose petal, red licorice and vanilla. On the palate: cherries, fresh tar, rose water and clove. Fine-grained, spicy tannins are well-integrated already; perceived on gums and mostly on cheeks. Long finish of red fruits, iron and wood spice. This wine is all about intensity and length...nimble on the palate...ethereal. I hate to be cliche...but...Burgundian.
