Upon opening had aromatics of black pepper and spice, on the palette was spice and deep cherry, almost sour, that quickly turned to a consistent spice, pepper and wonderful cherry on the palette. Light mouthfeel and relatively short finish, light cocoa finish, medium tannins.

A bit muscular for a Pineau d'Aunis, though the tannins seemed to mellow out somewhat after 90 minutes, unless it was the palate that got inured. Would probably pair well with a smoked turkey. 13% ABV. 88-89

Russk. First night, as expected, nose is mostly black pepper (not my fav). The mouth was plush, but not jammy. Earthy and a tad natty. Leaves you wanting another glass.
Second night, too much black pepper. Even in the able hands of Colin, I think i need to avoid this grape: Pineau d'Aunis.

Again, joy to drink. Loads of white pepper, red fruit, and steminess. Will look for more
