NOTES:
Chocolate (unsweetened) | Earth | Wine (Tempranillo)
Tempranillo: a medium-full bodied wine, high in acidity and tannins; think red/purple fruits and leather. Dang near peppery edges. Earthiness fills out the middle here, and the middle balloons. Unsweetened chocolate happens on the other end of fuzzy borders. A warm grapefruit note twirls about.
Nice lively tension. Quite unchanging. A bit drying-tiring to the palate. Retro-hales are important and crisp-up the profile while dropping white pepper to the tongue. Not ever too terribly delineated nor complex. Enjoyable meditatively, paired with an Ethiopian coffee roasted to the light-side of medium.
