Top Notes For
Jakub Kalinowski

A bit reductive upon opnening but quickly shows dusty, crushed cherries, a hint of tobacco, a whiff of leather with a pinch of fresh herbs.
Light yet punchy on the palate with crunchy tannins, racy, juicy cherry acidity and a long savoury finish.
The 13.5% alc sticks slightly out yet this is still delightful & highly drinkable.
