The bush is vigorous, fast-growing, reaching 1.2–1.8 m in height and 1.0–1.5 m in width. The crown is oval, dense, with thin, slightly pubescent shoots. Fruits are large, cylindrical, 2.0–2.5 cm long and weighing up to 3 g, colored dark blue or violet with a waxy bloom.
The variety is classified as mid-late or late in terms of maturity. The berries are characterized by strong attachment to the peduncle and do not shed significantly. The taste of the fruits is dessert-like, sweet and spicy, with honey notes and no bitterness. The plant is winter-hardy, withstands frosts down to –29...–34°C, and begins fruiting in the second year.
The variety has immunity to diseases, however, in high humidity it can be affected by powdery mildew. The berries are suitable for fresh consumption, freezing, and processing. Due to the strong attachment of the fruits to the branch, the variety is not intended for mechanical harvesting.
