Tasting Notes

Colour

red. Really, red

air Nose

not un-nice I have to say, and far less winey that what some Scots have done using barriques, cabernet or else. Peonies and pencil shavings, plus an ‘idea’ of raspberry jam and an unexpected bourbony side. Fine. With water: noses like some well-aged Canadian, really. Even a sweet rye-ness is there

restaurant Palate

no, this works, despite this huge spiciness that sound very ‘European’. Grenadine and cinchona, tamarind, strawberries, cranberries, gingery oak, pepper… To be honest I find this a little unlikely, even if I very well know that Marilyn Monroe used to love strawberries with pepper. With water: we’re in terra incognita. Fruity spices? Peppery strawberries? Caraway infused in persimmon juice?

timer Finish

not that long. Sweet, slightly syrupy, but rather spicy. Concentrated sangria?
