Dark blue fruit, dried herbs, olive and bacon. Always a favorite and easy to drink.

Brilliant violet. A highly aromatic bouquet evokes candied black and blue fruits, along with suggestions of smoky minerals, candied flowers, olive and cured meat. Deep, chewy and expansive in the mouth, offering concentrated dark berry liqueur, spicecake and salty olive flavors complicated by a hint of game and a building floral pastille note. Powerful but graceful, showing excellent clarity and mineral-driven thrust on the spicy, penetrating finish. All whole clusters. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2019)

Exuberant burst of blackberry, boysenberry, black currant and plum. Diametrically opposite to gonon, but more fun. Natty by nature
