Tasting Notes
"This Komovicha comes out of the bottle swinging with aromas of twigs, rubber bands and a touch of that “new car smell”. But if allowed a few minutes to open up these initial aromatics back off and a distinct but subtle grapey-ness is present. On the palate, it is strong and with a distinct bitterness. There is a hint of lavender soap and grape juice giving it a touch of sweetness beneath all that gruffness. The finish is short, light and hot with a touch of perfume."
