Damp bay leaf and forest floor aromas give depth to the brawny, stewed elderberry core to the nose of this bottling from vines grown in volcanic soils. Roasted fruit flavors on the palate are layered in Indian spices, thyme and eucalyptus leaf, with a solid peppercorn presence deep into the finish.
