Mogna aromer av mörkt frukt, balsamico och vanilj, Smakerna är varma av solmogen frukt, toner av lakrits. Komplex och elegant, sammetslena tanniner och ett långt trivsamt avslut.

Initial aromas of strong mushroom, also light blackberry with sage, balanced fruit and alcohol. Hints of dry yeast, medium vanilla and a slight bit of roasted plum, perhaps black pepper but not spicy... So granite? The combination of fruit forward with fungal qualities is pretty interesting.

Almost opaque garnet with faint oranging. Ripe red cherry, cedar, maybe a hint of dill / green aromas. Light start, with some bitterness into mid, mouth coating gritty astringent tannins, light acidity, begs a bit more. Will benefit from a few years in bottle, may lack the acid to go longer.
