Opaque, black-purple color that's reminiscent of a young Bordeaux.
The viney bouquet is vegetal and woodsy; the second and third nose passes introduce black pepper and brambles. The tart black-currant concentration at palate entry is unbelievable; the midpatate goes more fruity than acidic and the fullness of the whole experience is topped off by the long, luxurious aftertaste which highlights the black-currant fruit. A great addition to Champagne or still white wine.
