Top Notes For

Truncated party notes. Ridiculous. Nose has all sorts of stuff going on. Still zesty cherry. But loads of secondary and tertiary notes. So rich and soft, yet the acids buoy it up. Subtle concentration and deep fruit. Length for days.

2018 vintage. Spicy and a tad weedy (not the 4/20 variety) nose. Light-medium body but plenty of punch. Abusive Luxardo cherry in the flavors alongside cola nut, raspberry and rhubarb. Biggy tannins but mostly front-loaded vs back end. Needs a good 2 hour decant to air out. Tremendous hollers for the dollars. Almost a Pinot/Burgundy-styled bod. Almost. So much zip and personality. Super fresh and super presh. Love this producer. 3.31.24.

2024/1. Young and intense, dense with tannin, but a few hours reveal beautiful waves of rich berry aromas, floral nuances and good balancing acidity
