Tasting Notes: Savory, floral and spice focused. Ripe and fragrant with vanilla, spring blossoms, rose, raspberry syrup, cherry, and anise. The palate mirrors the aromatics with ripe cherry and a balanced interplay of fruit and acidity, offering a creamy mouthfeel. The finish is ripe and structured.
