Prime and ripe Berry on this one. Old Joe knows how to get some flavour out of his fruit for sure. It's redolent of the Blueberry topping on a cheesecake, minus the Vanilla. Savoury backs it up, the small % of whole bunch adding its tuppence-worth to the dialogue.
Nice open-weave that rolls around the palate. Fair shake of the pepper grinder, even a latent minty aspect in the frame too. Like good wines often do, this seduces with the first sip, luring the drinker in before delivering a liquid slap with some depth, spice and lasting presence. Joe, you're on a winner old mate. 91
