Tasting Notes
Colour
Sunlit amber-gold with coppery undertones and a whisper of mahogany.
Nose
Fig and dried banana chips mingle with apricot tea, while red-wine spice and fruity notes lift the bouquet, giving an inviting, layered aroma of warmth and elegance.
Palate
A soft, honeyed palate with brown sugar sweetness opens to fresh, fruity notes of Japanese peach and crisp red fruits. Gentle spice lingers through the mid-palate, while delicate tannins lend structure, finishing clean and refined.
Finish
Delicate, lingering tannins drift on a soft whisper of red-wine spice, with a subtle echo of dried fruit sweetness. The finish remains refined and persistent, leaving a clean, elegant impression that invites the next sip.
