COLOUR: Bright deepend red, iris-purple on rim
NOSE: A fusion of preserved figs, black plum, blackberry and black liquorice flirts with an aromatic elution of fish oil, anchovy, soy and seasome/nori. An uplifting freshness and higher notes are liberated with air - awakend scents akin to cola, Chinotto, aniseed, root beer.
PALATE: A retronasal transfer of the aromatics listed above converge to similarly adorn the palate. Full-bodied - turbo-propelled by a V.A/formic mix, affording attaque and grip, yet respectful of balance and style. Custom-lifted with impressive denisty and length - all dark and black, harmonious. Oak conceded - absorbed, compliant - effortlessy merging with blue and black fruits and dark chocolate/mocha notes.
