More black cherry than red cherry / earthy / baked red fruit offset by slight licorice, underbrush / acid keeps the structure in check, which at times leans on the full side

Purchased from Eataly Toronto, pairs better with food than alone. Thought the price was astronomical then remembered I’m in Canada, not the States. 🥴
