Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, rich amber with warm copper highlights and a subtle mahogany glow.
Nose
Red berries, strawberry shortcake and cranberries dusted with icing sugar mingle with a peppery rose wine, plum jam on rice pudding and a kiss of aromatic spice.
Palate
Silky, fruit-forward palate with creamy red berry sweetness, cranberry and strawberry notes tempered by subtle spice. Crunchy wood tannins provide structure beneath velvet textures of toasted marshmallow, sugared almonds, and Turkish delight. Eton mess and pink wafers echo sweetness as rose water and strawberry cheesecake emerge on the finish, leaving a lingering kiss of cocoa and rose-tinted candy floss.
Finish
Translucent red berry notes linger, with cranberry and rose water giving way to strawberry cheesecake, pink candy floss, and a delicate kiss of cocoa powder.
