Floral notes in the nose, with a tart scent hitting the back of my throat. The initial taste was subtle at first, dynamic but smooth, berries and dark fruit. The middle was suddenly very robust, with a tartness like that of crabapples, then turning drastically peppery near the back. The finish left an aftertaste of pepper.

The first drink was like a kick in the face - very bold, sharp. The second drink carried more subtle notes, including oak and barely-there cherry. There was a presence of tannins, though not overwhelming. In all, it's an enjoyable drink.

Peppery kick at the back; melon notes midway. Somewhat viscous, thicker than expected. Clear, golden-yellow color. Relatively clean finish.
