Pours a darkened browned garnet . Scent is very grape-forward, even presenting some variety-typical notes of black fruit. tad herbal, some bell pepper, honey is fairly hidden, but provides a more 'full' experience than the wine of it's own would have had. Taste is full, smooth, veyr mild tannins - softened by the honey obviously. Lovely balance, I honestly expected the grapes to overpower more. This is a more than fine Pyment! lovely body. Mild oxidative notes (sample flask, might be unique to my sample, but I love it). Overall, pretty impressed by this one, I expected to enjoy far less than this.
