This benefited from 2 hours of air. After decanting, there’s loads of ripe and slightly sour cherry fruit, along with balsamic, savory tones and fragrant stony gravel. Very soft in the mouth, there’s very little tannin and what is there is super soft. Not super concentrated but very tasty.

What a nose. Mint and menthol along with dark cherry, some oaky notes, some kirsch touches too. This is a great, multi-layered nose. The palate is very well made with a great acid backbone, some width, some nice mouthfeel, with a good grip. Cherry notes, a bit of tar, make way to a massive ball of a mid palate that introduces a strong layer of tannins, leaving some drying dimension to the mouthfeel over a very long cherry driven finish with that tar thing. It's great stuff!
