Terrific nose. Huge kirsch perfume. Stone. Raspberry. So clean, so precise and really refined. High toned and floral as well. Tons of fresh herbs. A killer CDP nose and zero heat and it’s 15%. Palate is ripe and juicy with good complexity and concentration. Powerful and sleek but also a hint of CDP heat. 15% is 15%. But good chewy tannins and cooling offset to the fruit that makes the 15% workable in the context of the wine and appellation.
