Tasting notes:
The aromas of this wine have shifted away from the dark fruit that dominated the nose even as recently as 2020. Floral notes of violets and lily-of-the-valley mix with orange zest and earthy aromas of dried leaves. The initial impression on the palate is light and pretty with pronounced acidity. On the palate it is very focused showing cranberry, raspberry, and tart cherry and a hint of licorice. Mouth-coating tannins offer a medium-long finish that invites you back for another sip.
