(750ml bottle shared by Herbalist, thanks!) Pours slightly murky deep purple with a loose bubbly active pink head. Notes of a mix of red raspberries and darker Rubus, rich red wine grapes with just a little sweetness to them, tannic and slightly earthy wine grape/blueberry tannins, soft but present lactic tartness, slightly herbal/peppery spicebox tones, smooth woody drydown, a little astringent in the back as well, very dry tannic finish, alcohol largely hidden but feels like a wine when drunk. Fairly light body for ABV and actively carbonated. Really fun wine hybrid yet again from Burdock, the less juicy nature of this one than some meant it wasn't quite as drinkable but yet again really solid blending.
