The nose soars with notes of raspberry jam & strawberry confiture, & is interlaced with Chinese five spice. The leather note typical of Bucher takes a step back in the amazingly complex array of aromas. With air, notes of bitter cherry emerge. In the mouth, the texture is supple & round with flavors of cherry, sassafras, & cinnamon stick. The acid profile is sneaky & seamlessly works with the tannins to a give a finish of bergamot tea. In short, a sensational offering from the Bucher Vineyard.
