2017. Silky, smooth and complex. Earthy initial node, that opens up to dried cherry and rose.

Nose. Spicy wood. Raspberry.

Palate is somewhat austere on open. Very focused early season cherry. Not huge magnitude. Better on open than the 16. As it opens (5 minutes) richer. Some cherry cough syrup. Very good acidity and brightness.

Very good with food.
