Right from the start it was clear this wine would take no prisoners. The wine even had a threatening color while the aroma was an armed assault with its outstanding balsamic intensity. You would think a lot of courage is needed to profane one of the world's longest living wines, one just on the market, whereas you are rewarded by its seraphic propensity to not attack you. In fact, it takes you by the hand and leads you to forest clearing full of shrubs, berries, a never-ending rose garden. The taste is only slightly abrasive, but this is forgivable because it is a glove made of voluptuous horsehair. It needs to settle but still demonstrates formidable boldness.
