Exuberant nose of spice, cherry cough drop, wood shavings, sour cherry. Very aromatic. Round, sappy and juicy with nice balance and freshnes. Clean and mineral finish redolent of spices and red cherries. Nice suave tannins. Showing very well. Terrific balance.

Nice nose. Sappy just ripe cherry. Lots of earthy/minerally scents, and some brambly spicy notes. Both tightly-wrapped and juicy in the mouth. Lots of sappy snappy cherry, but wrapped in slathers of minerality. Good acids make it bright. Lots of energy here.

Have not had in over a year. Sappy red fruited nose. Super clean. Almost candied but also vibrantly mineral. Some nice spice tones as well. Palate is elegant with nice freshness and purity. Juicy and dense with nice acids. Needs an hour to unwind it seems as tighter than last time. But long persistent and mineral finish makes me believe this will open up just fine.

Previous bottle showed much better. Lacking fruit. Just flat.
