delicious round/ripe cherry with smooth mouth feel; still some baby fat and not as much spice as i would have guessed for this amount of cab franc; full mid palate; nicely balanced with just enough acidity to keep it bright. Fun to drink on its own and works well with food.

Really nice. Drinking wonderfully and while it will probably be fine to sit on for 5+ years I enjoyed tasting and smelling it change throughout a long evening. To start, it was soft and elegant with chocolate covered blueberries but later on it was more high-toned cherry fruit with a crisp edge. The whole time it had a wonderful old world perfume. Open now to appreciate the way it progresses throughout the evening with a friend, but save it for a year or two if you want to drink with a crowd as it may go too quick to appreciate how it improves and grows with time.

Nicely mature, this is in a good spot right now. Nicely integrated and balanced, yet still fresh.
