Translucent pomegranate seed hue moving to garnet at the core and then water-white at the rim. Bright and lively on the nose, with lots of juicy, crunchy red fruit—unripe strawberry, tart raspberry, fresh cranberry, candied morello cherry, savory and herbal accents of red licorice, black tea, fennel, nutmeg, and sage. The palate is deceptively fruity at first—light and fresh, like a fun, tasty glou-glou wine—but gets wayyy more complex through the finish, evolving to subtly oxidative notes from extended barrel aging of hazelnut skin, dried cranberry, stewed rhubarb, kirsch, and cherry liqueur. Reminds me in a way of a dry version of a red VDN like Maury or Banyuls. Absolutely delicious, and unique; unlike anything I’ve tasted before. What I love most is the journey it goes on in each individual sip—the finish is wildly different from the attack. — 3 years ago
