This is quite brown spice driven on opening with a lovely lift of nutmeg and cassia bark melding with sweet raspberry and cherry fruit. There’s some sous-bois earthiness and a subtle sheath of whole bunch spice adding dimension. The palate is bright and airy sitting high in the mouth with a gentle sluice of raspberry, strawberry and cherry with nutmeg and a touch of earth in support. A diaphanous frame of chalky tannins frames a finish of medium length along with earthy acidity. Overall concentration was a question mark, but it did seem to build and flesh out in the glass. And at $37 this exhibits lovely freshness and brightness with good spice and earth complexity intermingling with the fruit.
