Tasting Note: Spiced cherries dominate the nose, accompanied by cassis, dark plum, and a touch of anise. Smooth and juicy on entry, the palate builds quickly with a full mouthfeel and bright acidity. An elegant progression of lush plum, bright cherry and tart red currant rides on abundant but not overpowering tannin.
Accolades: This delivers a very tightly focused, almost piercing beam of cassis, raspberry coulis and bitter cherry fruit, scored with singed alder and iron notes. Incense and tobacco details chime in on the finish. Long and refined, with the fruit leaving a sweet and mouthwatering echo. Best from 2022 through 2038. 4,800 cases made.
