Acidic start with a slight olive taste, slightly chalky in the middle with a spicy finish that lingers to the chest and the stomach - none of which are overbearing.

Sep 4th, 2016Needs air but finally blossoms in the glass with tons of minerality and dried fruit. 14.8 alcohol but not a dead soldier.
