What a wine. There’s an underlying forest floor umami component throughout, but overall cranberries, cherries, violets, good tannin. I keep coming back to different flowers and herbs. Seems to taste different with every other sip. I think this needs a few more years in bottle to completely integrate. Addendum: day two it’s exceptional. Much more integrated but the herbal qualities and dark fruit go so well with spiced pork and greens. Hope I can save the other bottle of this for a few years.
