bouquet of wet earth, crushed gravel, black cherry, nettles
palate brings big black fruit with some wood tannin and earth- smooth and fruity but empty.

Very nice thick rich, "tonkatsu" broth feel, deep purple, low tannin, slight acid, currant and jam fruit is there and it's slightly sweet like a honey tea, very good table wine. Not too complex but not simple either. Actually boiling pork bones now for ramen, hence the comparison.

Drinkable. Just not a deep enough flavor. Tasted little of the described smoke. Mellow
