Awesome wine, even better given QPR. Bouquet of violet candies, sage and black currant. Similar to Touriga Nacional aromatically, also (dry) Brachetto. Mid-weight, nice viscosity and texture, med/high acidity. Drinks like hibiscus tea with black currant juice. Finishes floral, unsurprisingly. Matured in seasoned oak, fermentation a mix of carbonic maceration and 'typical' fermentation.

A bit odd. Perfume of Parma Violets and polish, quite cloying. Sour cherry fruit.
