I remain enamored with this producer's offerings. This vintage boasts considerable acidity, yet a pleasing sweetness emerges, distinguished by a fruity, succulent quality that stands out in the face of rich flavors. A rich, rich cherry flavor is accompanied by a suggestion of stewed strawberry, but a subtle, earthy background flavor adds complexity and complexity. The scent is similarly multifaceted, featuring a pronounced funk element alongside a sweet, fruity nuance.
