Domaine Verret Irancy 2022 ($49.95 per bottle)

It definitely has a powerful cherry nose, ripe and nearly candied cherries as they had been sautéed in a pan with a bit of sugar. More discreet notes of raspberry, redcurrant and wild strawberry then appears. With a few years of patience these aromas will evolve towards the rich roundness of morello cherry jam and brandied red berries. On the palate you can feel like entering a world of richness, finesse and elegance. The use of oak is never aggressive if even felt as it is completely integrated to the wine. It surely is supporting it, bringing it a step higher in the spotlight. It's length leaves you with morello cherry and almond souvenir to remember it by.
