There is a prune note to this wine that isn't overpowering, but it is the thrust of the fruit right now. I have a feeling that this wine is in a bit of an awkward phase right now, but I will look for more from this producer.

High acid, soft tannins. Not my favorite of his wines, a bit smoother day 2. Prunes and tart cherry.

This is an insane wine. Sweet yet balanced. Mind blowing. And vanilla like woah, but I know there is no new oak. Cherry, plum, black currant...
