Delicate/cool/floral in style. Phenomenal translucent ruby color. There's a flash of red fruit to start, this dries out, floral aromatics bloom with hints of clove. The finish is sour and it's mouthfeel is lacking, this contrast allows one to really appreciate the polish and extraction of, say, a premeium Shea Vineyard P/N. I think with more time to air the finish may soften, but the bottle didn't last that long. 13.5% abv. Aged 12-14 months in French oak (40% new barrels).
