Tasting notes
Dark red with amber highlights. Vibrant aromas of dried flowers and minerals. Juicy, tight and precise; not a fleshy style but has real sap and grip, with distinctly stony flavors of cherry, flowers, menthol, licorice and minerals. Finishes juicy and long, with a firm tannic spine. I like this style.
