Tasting Notes

COLOUR - Dark purple, black core. NOSE - Immediately captivating and expressive; an opulent and stylistically perfumed bouquet that exudes sophistication. A complex tapestry of black fruits unravels, revealing layers of blackberry conserve interwoven with inkwell minerality. Undertones of ferrous metal lend an earthy gravitas, while charred notes of roasted peppers and bresaola add depth and savoriness. The medley is accentuated by the subtle brininess of kalamata olives and nuanced by the freshness of green coffee beans. Hints of mulberry leaves complete this aromatic profile, showcasing its multifaceted nature. PALATE - Upon tasting, the palate unfolds with a burst of blueberry freshness, balanced by an undercurrent of Sarsaparilla and baking spice. A procession of cherries dipped in dark chocolate parades across the palate, escorted by the rich intensity of mulberries/blackberry coulis. The savoury flavours emerge through radicchio lettuce, adding an intriguing bitter edge that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness above. Layers continue to unfold as danish pastries and panforte integrate with sundried tomato pastry.
