Just stunning. Super complex nose that just belies its appellation. Intense mid to late season dark cherries. It’s so vivid and deep and just has a lipstick like intensity. Gorgeous. Unreal spice and earth that are just right there. The intensity is remarkable. Wow. So floral and so intense. 9.6. nose. Even better than in barrel. Palate is gorgeous with sappy, sweet concentrated fruit and terrific energy. But also such a light touch and elite finesse despite so much material. A long pitter patter of a finish that shows great refinement and class. I cannot believe how great this is.

So much fruit! Cherry galore. This needs to resolve and settle down. Hint of whole cluster? Touch bitter and (herbs) touch Zhaathar. Very drinkable and juicy would give this a couple of years.
