The nose is fresh. Rinsed fruit showing, particularly cherries backed by some slate and minerality. Sweet fruits on the palate with a tangy finish.

Rich dark fruit, cherries, and a firm minerality that keeps things interesting.

Not as bad as the new Kirschemann thing, but close. Didn't have the astringent Mr Clean taste, but was like week old grape Kool Aid or something. Very surprising.
