Top Notes For

8.8

Starts off fairly light and fruit forward, with little in the way of weight or complexity. With two hours of air, though, the fruit recedes a bit and the substantial drying tannins make themselves known. This may hold more interest when/if it all becomes more integrated in a few years. My score reflects current enjoyment, not the likely potential here.
