Deep purple/red.
Vibrant, multi-dimensional nose of suave oak spice, citrus blossom, menthol and a meaty nuance.
Pungent citrus peel flavors, acid-driven, with little oak showing. Green olive too. Definitely middle-weight, but has nice textural sweetness. Quite intensely flavored, long and chewy. Very French in inspiration, even has a cheese note that reminds me of Copain's Madder Lake Syrah.
This is really good. Never heard of these guys, will start looking for more.
