Vibrant and fresh, cherry and licorice, mushrooms, lots of lift, surprising life in a wine of this age

A little closed at first but after 20 minutes the spice and fruit of the 100% whole cluster ferm. Still tight chalky tannins and good acid. Sanguine/ferric aromas give way to overripe raspberry aromas with heaps of mace spice. Glorious. Drink or hold.

Initially still a bit closed and needs air. Oak bark and fallen autumn leaves and nice white pepper spice. All tertiary flavors. Good balance.

At 35 -still alive! Browning at the edges, dark ruby color, like cherry cola. Fragrant plum and cola on the nose. Dark and syrupy bing cherries finishing with sweet and pruned.
