Revisiting vintage. Tart cherry and plum with hints of herbs and spearmint. Slightly tart with plenty of tannins, skin mostly. Still age worthy but drinking well now

Dec 18th, 2021Revisiting this vintage, four months since the last tasting. Purple-red, dense, moderately extracted pigment. Black currant, leather, herbal and spearmint notes in nose. Tart cherry and spearmint in the mouth, white pepper, black pepper and fine grained tannins in finish. Lactic aftertaste. Needs time to open. Moderate skin astringency emerges after one hour, cherry-plum flavor with length after two.
