Tasting Notes
Nose
A festive, spiced aroma unfolds like mulled wine, with cranberry jelly and tart redcurrants. Red bubblegum and red liquorice mingle with aromatic heather, over earthy smoke. Sweet pink wafers and a touch of vanillin oak add a creamy, confection-like lift to the nose.
Palate
Peppery red berries, meaty-salami like notes, crunchy cranberry, brambly red fruits, earthy peat smoke with an aromatic/sweet edge (strawberries on a heather smoke bbq) stewed red plums/rhubarb with a touch of anise and leather here too.
Finish
Pomegranate molasses, smoked rhubarb, peppery oak, crunchy tannins, brambly red fruit, lasting spice and red chilli flake like heat and stewed black fruits galore.
