On the nose, this is bright cherry and alcohol... On the palate, the cherry is very pronounced... Kirsch... Some earthiness, but the acid here remains jovial. Medium, precise tannin. Medium bodied with the alcohol quite pronounced. Very uplifting. — 4 months ago

Maturing nicely, this is in the tertiary zone with pronounced dried red fruits, savory spices and roasted meats, with plenty of iron and volcanic soil notes. The tannin have resolved into a fine and elegant structure. Acidity is intact and well integrated. The flavor intensity is high, elegant, and persistent, very light on its feet as it sails into a long, mature finish.
This will pair perfectly with pasta and lighter fowl, gane or meat dishes. Pastas it will excel with red sauces, pestos or any lighter sauces that are savory with garlic and herbs at their core.
