78 / F

Tasted by Mike Supple - 15 Dec 2008

Dark purple core with a ruby rim. Nose of seaweed and rice (something like a California sushi roll) with a darker touch of blueberry and raspberry. The seaweed and kelp comes through strong on the front palate too, followed by blackberry, some earth and a little oak. If seaweed is your thing this may be worth a try, but I find this rather off putting.
