waves of rich bacon fat, maple, caramelized black cherries, campfire smoke and an elegant touch of lavender show on the nose of this bottling, which includes 14% counoise. similar smoke shows on the palate, but it's more tart and acidic than expected, with underripe blackberry and black plum skin flavors. the tannins are fine-grained but firm. drink 2018 through 2023.
