2019.
Deeply opaque ruby-crimson color.
Mascerated fruits and loamy soil come to mind when aerated. A familiar sterility lingers, like cherry cough drops.
Subtle, developed fruits with a balance of roundness and structure give this an inky quality. There's deep, dark cocoa/coffee on the finish, resembling a dark chocolate truffle with boozy fruit inside. Said finish is medium long and resembles the olfactory notes.
