Stunning aroma. Sweet and spicey red cherries. Strawberry. Blackberry. Deep penetrating aromas with world class clarity. Spice cake. Angel food cake. Elite bubble gum. Herbs. So complex and expansive. Palate is awesome. Concentrated and super complex with terrific purity and freshness. The freshness and energy here are top top notch. Awesome velvety tannins and juicy, tart cherry fruit with just huge volume and density but so fine and refined. Massive tiny berry fruit intensity builds on the finish. Really light color like a Bertheau Chambolle. Nose has deep Xmas spice on the second pour. Gorgeous and so so deep. Decadent sweetness and so compact and fresh but finishes with that tart tiny berry fruit intensity and almost a hit of cherry gumdrop. Just so pure. A genius wine.

Some pretty oak on the nose. Roses.
Palate is elegant cherry fruit. Really elegant. Great texture. Some hint of cherry licorice. Lovely sweet fruit.
As this opens it’s losing some verve. Interesting though. There is an impactful precision. Balancing bitterness.
