Virtually black in color - purple at the rim.
Meaty with lots of black pepper spice. Blackberries, blueberries, tar, charcoal, black olives, with a really gamey savory personality. So so good.
Weighty and full of rich viscous glycerin on the finish. The palate is multi-layered with enormous personality. A masculine effort with a touch of enjoyable heat on the back end.
Blueberry cobbler aromas and flavors coming through as well. Purple flowers - lilacs. Really really lovely wine. High alcohol but it's in check and is very well integrated with tannins and acid. Bravo. A true winner.
This will age effortlessly for two or more decades. But it's drinking well now - as many of Krankl's wines do during their infintile stages.
