Boisterous aromas of black and red cherries. Wonderfully fragrant and with tremendous tiny berry fruit intensity. Lovely wet earth and stunning tiny berry fruit intensity. Awesome loamy minerality. A knockout nose. Palate is rich, elegant and nimble with extraordinary fruit and sap. Round and opulent with wonderful freshness and purity. Really elegant with sweet, velvety tannins and just terrific fruit. Thrilling stuff. Buffet made epic 18’s. So long. With air some blackberry on the nose and gaminess on the palate.

Gorgeous and wild nose of black and red cherries, complicated by intense earth tones, with its deep and layered signature of alluring aromas. Super floral and black raspberry after air. Licorice. Wow. Can’t stop smelling. Palate is OMG intense, with absurd fruit and tension and such unreal purity and elegance. Really elegant and such a lipstick like intensity to the sappy and fresh fruit with just unreal freshness. This is so good. Such sweet fruit and dramatic energy and freshness. Such detail and precision and an endless finish. Lovely hit of opulence in the mid palate which goes directly into amazing freshness, density and sap. This is brilliant. Big dense tannins that are so sweet and ripe. Lovely.

A confused mess for 4 hours.

Then the genius frees itself.

Nose is kaleidoscopic. Spice. Cherry mineral. Salt. Best moss ever. Crazy. Sage. Cherry flower.

Palate is Peter t cherry. Spice. Mineral. Cherry spice.

Do NOT a pop and pour this. It’s a crime against GOD. 4 hour Decant or wait 5 years.
