Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | The nose develops flavours of ripe red fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry and balsamic notes (camphor, eucalyptus). From there emerges typical aromas of licorice, spices (pepper, cinnamon), and violet. |
Palate | The mouth is round and large followed by a mid-palate surprisingly fresh and intense with aromas of licorice and chocolate, and velvety tannins. The finish offers good length with notes of mocha and toast. |
Colour | Deep red with purple hints |
