Wine Enthusiast
The first sniffs scream black currants; further aeration brings out the scent of black currant nicely, without fanfare, jamminess or sweetness. Palate entry is tart, concentrated and curranty; the midpalate is more balanced in that the natural acids offset the intense preserves-like sweetness. Aftertaste is long, more bittersweet than sweet and luscious.

Deep semi-opaque garnet color. Rich, ripe cassis pure aromas. A thick entry leads to a sweet, fruity full-bodied palate with black fruit preserve flavors and a deft touch of menthol and spice. Finishes with a light herbal note and a bit of tartness. Pure and artisanal.
