Review and Tasting


Sampled on 07/09/2020

Appearance:

Deep maroon red.

Aroma:

Christmas spice and potpourri with black cherry and wormwood.

Taste:

Pine, liquorice and Cassia spice with star anise freshness and black cherry vinous notes. Floral notes are subtle with lavender most obvious. Quite a thin mouthfeel compared to other rosso vermouths. Perhaps due to reduced sugar levels, at least 20g/l below that of most Italian rosso vermouths.

Aftertaste:

Dentine chewing gum and cinnamon-like notes from the Cassia bark dominate the spiced vinous cherry finish.

Overall:

Can't help thinking mulled wine when I sip this pleasingly spicy vermouth.
