On tap at Bar Lupulus, pours a clear amber red with a small beige head. Aroma is very grape-forward, with light acidity detectable, oak, and loads of grape must. Flavour is pretty similar, with lots of musty grape skins, whole juicy grapes, medium acidity, oak, and a touch of residual sugars. The grapes work well together with the barrel, and everything is appropriately balanced. Very good.
