($20) Deep, bright red. Musky redcurrant, cherry, licorice and herbal aromas, plus a suggestion of candied flowers. Sweet, sappy and assertively tangy, with a strong bitter cherry flavor. Offers more density than the Bone-Jolly, but the red and dark fruit flavors are a bit youthfully introverted right now, making this a tough read. The firm, gripping finish lingers with good spiciness and clarity. I'd like to come back to this in a year.
