Aged village wine strutting secondary characteristics! Tea, dried currant and red apple, dried flowers and decaying leaves, plump dried fruit on palate with plenty of acid left! Fun drink

"Coravined" this. I will try more weeks/months down the road to see how well it works.
Nose: chocolate covered cherry, red berries, mushroom, a little raspberry, cranberry, just a touch of menthol, touch of earth, does celery salt sound completely strange?
Palate: meaty, nice structure, still good acidity, chocolate, velvety, balanced tannins but they are there nicely, that cranberry from the nose is there on the palate. What a great Thanksgiving wine this would be.

Yummy leftovers from a WSET class today. Loaded with dark plum, tart cherry and forest floor spice. Firm tannins and juicy acidity suggest this will be better in 5 years and hold for another 5 years beyond that.
