Tasting note
Black to the core, purple on the rim. Intense, an immediate barrel-ferment propulsion - sweet and candied, with a peaty, iodine, green olive base. Beneath this, a barely-concealed swirl of Vegemite/yeast extract/concentrated salt-paste laced with paprika, oregano flower and thyme. A slurry of cocoa powder a scented waft of black pudding and a splash of nori-roll/sea-spray temporarily balance this aromatic equation. But then a minute or two later all changes… Dense, a paste-like texture and weight. A balsamic liveliness/lift/energy is unleashed. Tannins focus on the roof of the mouth, laden with an additional film of dark chocolate, mocha. A mix of quince and sesame paste laden with basted meats and saturated stewed plum, boysenberry, blueberry. Tightly bound - wait for decompression! Complete, Confident, Convincing.
