I love Dram Mor's labels, they are much less pushy and, well, deafening than many other new ooh-ha indie efforts. I mean, they're all expected to end their lives in a trash bin anyway, are they not? But I find it interesting that most indies would go dazzlingly modern while the officials become more and more 'retro'. Anyway... Colour: blush wine (Brad and Angelina's rosé de Provence). That's scary. Nose: do you know what a 'fraisier' is? It is a kind of cake with some sponge cake, custard, butter cream, fresh strawberries and marzipan/almond cream. That's what I'm getting here. Rather love 'fraisier' when it's well made, by the way. With water: beers and grist popping out. A feeling of Belgian Kriek beer. Mouth (neat): a little raw and kirschy. Not quite mature, and actually pretty tutti-frutti-y (oh rootie). Guignolet and maraschino. With water: more Kriek beer. Finish: kirsch aged in oak for a few months. Some crazy folks are doing that in the Schwarzwald – but we refrain from doing so in Alsace. Comments: nutshell, loads of cherries in this one. I remember a lovely wee town in California… Forgot the name…
