Tasting Notes

Moderate reduction suppresses the underlying fruit at present but more positive are the rich, intense and mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that are youthfully austere and slightly drying on the mildly grippy bitter cherry pit-inflected finish. This will likely round out in time as the supporting tannins seem ripe though it's not clear that the balance will ever be ideal.
