Purity if fruit ( red cherries & raspberry), nice minerality and very interesting briny layer.... Pretty complex as it opens up and the alcohol level tagged @ 15.2% certainly not representative at this juncture!!! Super happy to have sat on it for so long but plenty of life ahead!

Love the bright raspberry jaminess and unexpected briny complexity.
