Feteasca Neagră

Oof - vegetable soup mixed with black fruit. It tries to evolve into leather and tobacco, but doesn't quite get there. The nose isn't particularly engaging.

On the palate, though, it's bold and vibrant, with good juiciness and a solid, clearly defined body. Long, warm finish. Feels like it would pair really well with traditional food, but on its own, it's a bit heavy and not all that compelling.
