Still a baby, a bit closed down initially but opened to up to reveal some seductive sweet fruit and spices with haunting earthiness. Black cherries and kirsch, grippy tannins, balsamic reduction, sage and thyme. The youthful vigor this wine is exciting. Decidedly virile and intense, this was a heavenly pairing with roasted elk, mushrooms and blackberry reduction.
