Sour cherries with great acidity velvety tannins. What a crazy mouth feel. Dried cranberries but softened by mushrooms. Thank you Matt!!

A nose overwhelmed with luscious licorice. Love that smell. Reminds me of grandpas licorice caramels. Dark fruit bursting though the bouquet and also on the palate. Big blackberry and boysenberry. Silky texture and tannin. Big fan...especially as it had been open a while.
