NOTES:
Stiff oily delivery. Salacious! Wooden savory notes; oak & leather sip -- clean & crisp. Bright but balanced well. Slurps to the tune of rather delicate hibiscus bits, less delicate nuttiness: Black walnut | almond, a bit of a savory fungal vibe. Toasty earthen underbelly. Rich, thinly.

Complex on not too ornately long of a flavor list. Each note goes a long way and each plays well in the other's underneaths. Too, remains delineated. Nuanced. Finishes with a salted bit of blueberry pie; holds that a good bit. (Noses more floral | fruity than it sips | slurps.)

FINAL GRADE: A-
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
