  A: cant see. Medium ruby prob. This wine bar is dark.
  N: wowzers what a pong. Pronounced intensity. CHEESE, fecal/earthy, cranberry, white pepper (perfumed), black pepper and Dale from Camerata says this is very much in the yoghurt vain.I also got raspberry. Burgundy nose on this one. Even a burgundy producer thought this was a Burgundian PN.
  P: Dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol (bit of a burn), medium (-) tannin, medium (+) intensity, fair bit of wood tannin and so I think some oak is here. Also a little smoke. Finish is medium (+) for me.
  C: Weird and wonderful. I like it. Its a combo of zweigelt, blaufränkisch and St. Laurent. Acidity strangely low. I kept trying the drip test after hydrating myself and just couldn't seem to get much above medium acidity.
