The fruit sweetness is what grabbed me from the outset here. It's not overly sweet, don't get me wrong, but there is enough to take note.
Black olives, charcoal and lead pencil are the main players. There is some heft here too. Drying and puckering, it draws all moisture from the mouth. It just feels a little two-paced for now. One to serve with a hearty meal in the cooler months but time will be its friend.
