Top Notes For
Tom Casagrande

This is very tight and intense. Nose has loads of tiny bursty intense little cherries and pomegranate, along with intense chalky limestone minerality that almost verges into mint. As it airs, a deeper sous-bois note emerges. Intense and uncompromisingly lean, but with great concentration and length. The minerality really steals the show in the mouth. Lots of youthful but fine grained tannin. This will be much better in the coming years.

Cherries and crushed marbles. Seems a little too light. Lacks secondary flavors of interest.
