Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm, deep amber with a sunlit glow and subtle mahogany undertones.
Nose
A bright bouquet of apples and oranges mingles with ripe plum, warm spices and cinnamon, crowned by roasted caramel. The aroma is inviting and caramel-tinged, hinting at depth and a touch of sweetness that lures the senses.
Palate
Sweet dried fruits and bright citrus sweep the palate, edged by a crack of crushed pepper. Vermouth’s lingering sweetness threads through the spice, with caramel warmth giving way to a long, bittersweet finish.
Finish
A warm, lingering finish of bittersweet vermouth that clings to the palate, unfurling citrusy, dried-fruit nuances and delicate bitter botanicals as the warmth slowly fades to a long, refined echo.
