Really good. Nose has ripe, crisp cherry, crushed rock, moist gravel, sweet spice. Palate is nicely balanced. Fruit, acids, very fine-grained tannin, crushed, high-toned rock dust. Could easily age a few more years.

Funky funky nose! Sure, there’s the sappy cheeriness of the grape, but the earthy aromas consist of components of barnyard, moist soil, and fragrant, mouthwatering limestone dust. In the mouth, it’s very aggressive, attacking with loads of clinging minerality and bitter cherry. Very good acidity. Lots of character here, and drinking very well now.

Delicious bright red fruit, tart, seems like "natural" winemaking with some initial funk, but cleaned right up after a little time, very pure and true red burgundy
