So vibrant and energetic. Dark fruit, herbs, and dirt. A bit of co2 spritz which in addition to the acid makes it incredibly refreshing.

Slammable. Dark fruit, roses and stems, black pepper and olive tapanade. A balsamic hint as well. Great tannin structure. Amazing.

No fining, filtering or sulphur makes a difference.

Cool mix of fresh fruit and kirschwasser, and savory, herby, flowery things - a little dissolved CO2 makes for a squeaky clean finish - thanks Penny and Andy Loving!
