Pomegranate and wild cherry drive through a mineral-etched frame, while orange peel and licorice add savory complexity. The structure feels almost skeletal now, all sinew and bone, reflecting both the vintage's restraint and Arborina's naturally precise character. This needs patience. Cellar 3-5 years for the energy to settle into something more generous.
