The most extraordinary feature is its texture—unbelievably lush and velvety. There’s an insane concentrated core of fruit—black fruit, of course, with a complement of exotic wild berries—blackberries, black currants, bramble berries, berries that one smears on one’s face, rehearsing a scene from Lord of the Flies. But superimposed on the berry note is an almost tropical fruit character. Southwest France becomes the South Pacific with subtle suggestions of mango, guava.
