Tasting Notes
Strong ruby garnet, deep color core, edge brightening, very floral on the nose, of marsh mallow, some marshmallow, sour cherries, with air towards plums, dark berry fruit on the palate, fresh acid structure, somewhat over-concentrated, the tannins appear somewhat hard, not yet ready to drink, very woody on the finish.
