I like the nose on this a lot. Crunchy cherry, crushed rock dust, a little sweet brown baking spice, and dry bramble. The palate is a little challenging. It begins nicely with sweet-tart cherry, and very bright limestoney minerality, but it thins out quickly and acids, a bit of astringency, and hard tannins take over, creating a tough, shrill second half of the palate. I think this will be better in 2-3 years, but I’m not sure it’s ever going to lose that demanding personality. (UPDATE: On night 2, it’s a little softer and more fruit is showing on the second half of the palate.)
