Earth bound!!! Crimson brick manure, non offensive if you can imagine that. So F'in intriguing. Layers and layers going on with a tart plum skin dry finish. Terroir driven.

Could not take nose out of glass. Smoked meat, funk and rubber/tar (not in a bad way) when you smell it. Raspberries, fresh red currants, high acid food wine lightness when you taste it. It will be exceptional in 3 more years.
