this is a very interesting wine. it has many different flavor threads that have not quite interwoven. to begin there is a surplus of acid, leaving a chalky sensation that has not yet smoothed out. the fruit flavors are also sharp and tart—red fruits from wild berries to pomegranate to sour cherry. the aromas suggest some light chocolate from the barrel aging, and it shows up in the finish, along with herb and vanilla. so, there's lots going on, but it has not yet come together in a harmonious whole.
