APPEARANCE 4 out of 5 stars

Lovely mixed bunch of purple and green, enticing deep purple color

AROMA 3 out of 5 stars

Very very slightly sweet

TEXTURE 1.5 out of 5 stars

Gelatinous and juicy, with edible seed (though I spit them out)

TASTE 5 out of 5 stars

Rich and complex, sweet like grape juice

OVERALL 3.38 out of 5 stars

Once you get over the gooey mouthfeel, the fact that the peel completely separates from the flesh, and dealing with seeds, this is an amazing grape. Rich with flavor, sweet and musky. Can’t. stop. Eating. Them.
