This is exceptionally good. Nose has ripe pomegranate and zingy dark cherry fruit, a ton of liquid minerals, a nose-tingling chalk dust note, spice, and mahogany furniture. Lots going on. In the mouth the minerality is intense, accompanying dense bone dry cherry extract. Tightly-wound, unusually for an ‘18, there is lots of fine-grained tannin and intense acids. Really enjoyable for its athleticism right now, this will age beautifully.
