A noticeable phenolic character gives the 2013 Mt Carmel an austere, sharp edge that isn't unappealing but could use more fruit to find balance. A pleasant minerality on the palate leads to more phenolic influence and a slight bitterness to the finish. A drinking note: This gained weight with air and complexity as it warmed up.

Slight phenolic edge. Lemon curd. Mineral-driven palate. Better with air and as it approached room temperature.
