Nice ink, rose petal, chalk on the nose. Not especially fruity but a rich "petite syrah/sang. v." aroma. Tart and clean with a sort of minty-herb element. A bit of tannin and some berry flavors. Pretty astringent finish. Not exactly dynamic or complex but a good-fun drink. Like a girl in a devil outfit would be.
