A bit pricey for what this is but cannot deny it is well made and tasty. Rustic, boozy, and brambly on the nose with blackberries and oak spice. The palate shows black cherry, plum, anise, and baking spice. Medium bodied with M+ acid, tannin, and alc.
Joe Cocker made sense with this.

A little too brambly and soft for me, it was missing the fresh snap of acidity.

濃い味わいだが、メルローの優しいふくよかな味わい。タンニンも豊富でまだまだ熟成もできそうだが、キレイなので、今でも十分美味しい。樽香も酸もうまくまとまっている。
