Its purplish color is truly profound, a nuanced reflection of the intensely dominant blackcurrant jam. Its balmy spice/fruit aroma is remarkably sweet: tannic mentholated milk, vanilla-infused cocoa, and menthol on a concentrated, dense base. The flavorful fusion of its more rounded veins is perfectly smooth. In a velvety, glycerin-rich mouthfeel, the thickening fibrousness of the tannins lends fleshiness to its texture, without turning its smoothness into bitterness. The winemaking process is truly excellent, with truly excellent clarity, exceptional post-swallowing persistence, and its minty blackberry treasure fades into a fabulously mellow finish.
