super minerals and searing acid - benefitted a great deal from an hour open. pretty red fruit, mainly pomegranate, a touch of dried leaf, backside has a metallic halo (blood? holy water?), teensy bit of orange rind, a lavish salt-wash, something almost bodily, primal, and with a color reminiscent of fresh red beet juice and deep pink peony petals it comes awfully close to breathtaking at times....

2015 - tomato leaf on the nose, savory tomato, anise and deep, vibrant fresh raspberry. quite impressive and more evidence that some parts of Europe are benefiting from climate change, at least in the short term. Delicious.
