Fresher & more floral vs the ‘17s & ‘18s.
Fresh dark sweet cherries, an uplifting, fresh floral note, just a hint of mossy undergrowth. Pure, light, juicy.
Juicy on the palate as well, mid weight, bright acidity, light & juicy tannins, crunchy red fruit. More balanced and less alc vs prior vintages.
Joyfully drinkable yet with quite some character & nice depth, too.
They really nailed it in 2019! What a delight! Need to stock up!!

Bold, fresh cherry with a touch of undergrowth, exotic spice and a whiff of kirsch. Fresh & juicy with purity of fruit and great balance plus the interesting edges around. The 15% alc is impeccably integrated. Youthful but still delicious.
Great value, too.
