So as promised - second tasting within 2 weeks. Ernst Storm told me this wine is from young vines on clay soil. Dark cherries, minerals, hint black tea, surprisingly complex. I will keep an eye on this Vineyard. It shows great promise!

Explosion of fruit and spice on the nose. Also some flowers. The palate is much more savory with cherries, flowers, some baking spice, but much more forest floor than on the nose. Really great. Can’t wait to see how this evolves.
