Tasting Notes : Glass-staining ruby. Opaque ruby. Dark berries, olive, smoky herbs and violet on the nose, with a peppery note coming up with air: is this syrah or what? Expressive, sappy dark fruit and floral pastille flavors stain the palate, with zesty minerality providing spine and lift. Finishes sweet, juicy and long, with the spice and smoke notes echoing. Kosuge said that he included a lot of whole clusters here.
