There's something funky when first you open this bottle, but fear not it will all resolve itself in the end. The nose is cran-cherry with earthy and limestone notes that give it a kinda funky aroma ... on the other hand, from the very first sip the palate might seem to follow the nose but give it a moment and you'll find it removes the earthy funk in favour of fruit, and lots of it. Very pleasant and enjoyable once you get past the nose; but something tells me with a little time in glass that will resolve itself too. Price: $39.00 - Rating: ****
