"There's black cherries and hints of fresh Gala apples, gentle baking spices and light toasted oak barrel. A lovely red cherry powder texture emerges that seems to unlock aromas of sarsaparilla and raspberry-clove essence. The tannin structure is delicate, but everlasting, and the wine shows good density and plenty of age ability. The hurdle here is the wines alluring style at this youthful state, a prettiness that is so inviting right now that pulling the cork as soon as you can could very well be a sound decision."
