It`s often difficult to assess new peppers with no name, or no information on their background, but in this case I`m very glad I tried!
The colour of the pod is sublime - dark burgundy, like the wine.
The initial aromas were dominated by very fruity tones, with a little tomato and some aromatics similar to tomato leaves. A touch of sweetness rounded out the aroma beautifully.
The flavors were very fruity in an indistinct way, with really nice sweetness, followed by some good acidity that really balanced out the flavour. The finish was a very fresh, grassy-like flavor which just added even more deliciousness.
The aftertaste, as the heat faded, had a very dilute Bhut or Naga-like quality, which was really lovely. That faded into a very slight Tomato-like flavor right at the end.
The heat was upfront and initially around Ornage Habanero levels, but it soon ramped up to be much hotter than that, peaking around the same sort of levels as Red Trinidad Congo peppers. Excellent heat, but not in the superhot category.
