Top Notes For
Aravind A

Pop and pour. Austere at opening. Better with a couple of hours of air and lots of swirling. On the nose: baking spice, black cherry, soft rose and some soft green stemmy notes. On the palate: excellent acidity, soft mouthfeel, black cherry, a touch of woody bitterness and soft very finely grained tannin on the finish. Hasn't evolved much over the last 3 years...but not sure it has the fruit/acid/tannin balance to improve in a good direction.
