Translucent cranberry garnet in colour, rich earthy aromas of forest and wet leaves rose from the glass. Traces of cherry and lavender intermingled with damp earth and mushrooms in the medium body. My Thai potstickers highlighted the earthy mushroom, adding a truffle like complexity to the velvety smoothness. The finish consisted of wispy layers of smoke and woodsy oaky elements that moved into a contrasting bright, fruity strawberry essence. Delicate yet rich, smoky and earthy yet clean and fruity, each sip was a juxtaposition of pleasing opposites that fashioned quite the engaging glass.
