Tasting

➀ Tasting Notes: Initially this was fairly strongly reduced and evidenced a moderately bitter finish. With 24 hours of air though most of the reduction lifts to reveal markedly ripe yet reasonably fresh aromas of resin, petrol and various white orchard fruit nuances. There is fine density to the juicy and fleshy medium-bodied flavors that offer good richness thanks to the abundant dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the noticeably warm finish. Interestingly the lemon zest bitterness does lift to a degree though not completely and overall, I would describe this as a wine with certain interesting attributes but also a somewhat disjointed aspect. Whether this will harmonize sufficiently with age to merit a higher rating is frankly an open question but I have my doubts. — Burghound
