Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Aromatic mulled wine with red fruits, complemented by gentle clove spice.
-
Palate: The initial red fruit notes evolve into dark fruits, featuring blackberry compote and fig jam, with a hint of cracked black pepper.
-
Finish: A rich conclusion with flavors of glazed cinnamon bun and glacé cherries, offering a sweet and spicy finish.
These tasting notes reflect the influence of Amarone red wine casks, which impart vibrant fruit character, balanced with the sweetness of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.
