2012, was worried reading online reviews, but this is complex and amazing. Macerated cherries, baked apple crisp, some wood, other herbs and spices I cannot pinpoint. Some chamomile tea notes. All on the nose. Palate is apples initially, buttery bread, more cherries then hits a citrus acidity late that leads to baked apples with spice and vanilla and oat buy it is all balanced by the underlying acidity. There is clearly an oak influence but so well balanced with acidity. Nothing funky on this one despite its color and some online notes. Outstanding and unique.
