Plum and black cherry fruit meets iron-rich earth and crushed herbs. The texture surprises. Granite-like tannins bite down hard, bringing serious grip to what's usually a softer variety. Rose hip tea and lavender emerge with air. Built to age, this needs until 2026 to settle those aggressive tannins.
