Tasting Notes
Has a very intense fruit aroma. Fig and concentrated wild berries, some cocoa. A very high amount of grippy, fine-grained, very firm tannins appear in the mouth, the massive alcohol is slightly noticeable even through this massive extract, but is compensated for by hauntingly sweet fruit. Should age well.
