April 22, 2016 - This has an intensity to the fruit that is quite dominant. There's a blend of red and black fruits here, along with quite sharp acidity. For me it lacks the tannin backbone to balance the other elements. It is definitely going to evolve over time, it still seems quite fresh and young. I'm not sure though at this point whether that evolution will improve the wine.
