Sample with Grumbo via Ed. Aroma is sugary, musty, tannic, grape, solvent and a touch mucky. Decent body, slightly sweet. A bit carbonated and a good drying grape finish.

Clear golden pour, tiny white head; decent carbonation. Rather on the tart side which is good. Taste is adding some quince, oak and even a hint of pepper. Very nice.
