Tasting Notes

Ruby red in color with ageing tends toward garnet, with intense aromatic red berry aromas, cranberry  and light notes of  anise. Flavors of  blended small red fruit and spice of black pepper.

On the palate, smooth and light with light body and texture.

A persistent blend of ripe spring and summer berries, and

lingering spice on the pallet and in the glass!
