Brambleberry aromas are appealingly mysterious with a bass note of forest floor and licorice root. The long palate is powerful and pulsed with acidity, carrying concentrated flavors of dark cherries, black raspberries and a dusting of woodsy spice. Violet pastilles perfume the background and linger through the long finish. Best after 2027 and then for another decade-plus.

A touch of lime zest plays on the nose before tart cranberry fruit takes hold on the nose. More air reveals hints of conifer and moss. The palate comes in with concentration and pristine, tart red cherry fruit that is pervaded by lovely pepperiness. There is something cool, something breezy here, but the red fruit underneath shines and radiates its purity and ripeness. Lovely and poetic.
