Top Notes For
Severn Goodwin

Nose has crushed raspberries over flourless chocolate cake, muddy cherries, Multiflora rose and molasses-like spice notes.

Palate has raspberry fruit leather, dried tart cherry, (light) red velvet cake, sweet red pepper, granitic soil, fresh cherry with smooth tannins and a long finish.

Cork pulled for slow oxygenation for 5H, then into the decanter for +2H. Clearly a youthful bottle, likely better at 10-12Y past vintage, yet still enjoyable tonight at 7Y with proper airing.
