Tasting Notes
Opaque purple colour. The nose is purest fruit, there almost is a quality of freshly crushed grape, bold, pure, ripe, exquisite, exuberant and alive. The perfume is incredible, if that white bloom on the dark blue skin of grapes had a floral, ripe fragrance, this would be it: violets, crushed blackberry, ripest plum. The freshness is unbelievable. The palate comes with its very own brand of elegance: a barely tamed wilderness that speaks of fragrant fruit, captured at a moment of dewy freshness, unnerving in its apparent glory. This is a kind of elixir. Wonderful, bold, elegant, sleek, profound - and completely delicious.
