Tasting Notes: Bright ruby red in colour, with slight garnet reflections. Pleasing aromas of violet, rosehip, and white flower - carnation, crisp fruitiness of raspberry, sweet wild strawberries, cherry, and orange zest. Spicy aromas of cinnamon, black pepper, and cloves emerge, all enveloped in a delicate layer of sweet pipe tobacco.
The Palate is dry with a smooth, sensual texture. The tannins, though noticeable, are gentle and not overly harsh. Flavours of tobacco, cocoa, licoricey, and sweet spices are followed by hints of red rose, violet, raspberry, pomegranate, and wild strawberry. Dry vegetal notes of bark and walnut round out the profile.
Fermented in Ganimede stainless steel vats, which allows gentle pumping over without using mechanical parts. A short period of maceration on the skins. Fermentation temperature 24°C . 24 months maturation in fine grained medium roasted French oak. Bottled February 2025, Bottle aging 60 days.
