Fruity with black currants and raspberries as well as herbal spicy notes. Spicy arrival with pepper and licorice. Sweetness from prunes and raisins but also some brown sugar coming through. Get some raw bitterness towards the end and the tannins appear. Absolutely stunning! — 8 years ago

This is essentially a very dark Rosé, although it should not be served fridge-cold (aromatics were totally muted until this warmed up some). This went well with appetizers but it didn’t have that striking black pepper note that my favorite PdA wines display — 4 years ago
