Very alluring, offering saturated cherry and wild berry fruit, with sandalwood, tobacco, and mineral flavors. Beautifully balanced and almost approachable now, with an embedded solid structure.

Kirsch, wild cherry and strawberry flavors are the hallmarks of this monolithic red. Earth, spice and graphite accents add complexity as this adds muscle on the solid finish. Shows the svelte character of the vintage despite the density and power.
