A 750ml corked and capped bottle, bottled on 15th February 2021, and with a best before date of 15th February 2031. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.

Appearance: A nice deep dark purple colour with a two finger purple head that had good retention and left some lacing.

Aroma: Lightly tart, dark berries, raisin, earthy, oak, woody.

Taste: Lightly sour and tart, dark berries, blackberry, blackcurrant, raisin, earthy, woody, oak, a touch of chocolate, with red wine vinous notes.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Overall: I’m not sure what elderberries tastes like, but there’s lots of good dark berry flavours here. There’s a good balance of fruit, dark malt, earthy, woody and vinous that gives it good complexity, and the ABV is also well hidden, such that you don’t notice it at all.
