Another old favorite of ours that represents excellent quality for the price.
Presents a complex, nuanced nose of vanillin, barrel toast, rich dark cherries, cedar and a hint of nutmeg.
Palette is focused and precise. Tannins are still quite aggressive, which bodes well for further cellaring. Acidity is still buoyant. Notes of cherries, blackberries and possibly thyme keep nudging the tastebuds. Purchased well south of $40, we always gravitate to this juice.
