Tasting Notes
This also has that phenolic character of olive oil hints along with relatively strong reduction that renders the fruit impossible to read. There is reduction in the mouth as well though there is good vibrancy to the exceptionally rich and voluminous flavors that evidence plenty of muscle and minerality on the saline, clean and dry finish. While quite awkward today my predicted range assumes that it will harmonize in due time as the requisite concentration and ripeness levels are present to allow it to do so. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014.
