Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with warm copper-gold tones and a subtle ruby-tinged mahogany edge.
Nose
Heather honey, toffee and cocoa lead the aroma, with peaches and almonds brightening it, while orange zest and a whisper of nutmeg weave a warm, inviting scent.
Palate
Layers of toffee, heather honey, cocoa and peaches, fused with red berries, ginger and nutmeg.
Finish
Silky, wine-kissed finish that lingers with red fruit depth and inline spice. Raspberry and blackberry notes mingle with orange zest, cocoa and toffee, while a warming thread of ginger and nutmeg echoes in the background. The Grattamacco red wine cask leaves a velvety, oak-leaning glow that persists, slowly fading into a refined, lingering sweetness.
