Tasting notes: From the very first contact, the blend unveil depth and  complexity, starting from the mature flavours of rhum and coconut, developing into notes of red forest fruit, green nuts, freshly roasted hazelnuts and spices. The taste fully confirms the sensations already unriddled, with red fruit on the forefront but with a range of background notes which bring fine touches – cacao, spices, dry fruit, strawberry comfiture and well ripened raspberry. Extremely long and pleasent aftertaste, dominated by freshness.

Recommended serving temperature: 16ºC – 18ºC. We recommend the bottle to be open half an hour before serving and the wine to be decanted. The possible deposits certify the minimal intervention performed on the wine.
