750ml bottle. Minimally milky, orange golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Funky, woody and vinous fruity aroma, notes of oak, hints of blue grapes, a touch of yellow stone fruit, minimally zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy overtones. Taste is dry and mildly tart, vinous fruity, slightly woody and mildly funky, caramel malty basis with some residual sweetness, hints of blue grapes, some oak, plum, a touch of vanilla, slightly citrusy fruity, minimally zesty, hoppy overtones. Slightly oily, watery texture, dry and minimally astringent, simultaneously minimally greasy palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Nice composition with some subtleties, not to agressive (neither tartness nor funkiness), quite vinous overall - good.
