Wine Description
The wine captivates with its vibrant magenta hue, radiating energy andallure, inviting you to delve into its depths. Aromas of blackberry and dark fruits dominate the nose, showcasing their ripe and juicy allure. The fragrant bouquet is complemented by a delicate touch of vanilla, adding a subtle hint of sweetness and warmth. Intriguingly, a gentle waft of menthol and mint tickles the senses, reminiscent of the refreshing notes found in Throaties lozenges, where blackcurrant and eucalyptus oil blend harmoniously.
The palate opens up to an explosion of generous fruits, a true delight for the
taste buds. Succulent blackberries and other dark fruits take the forefront,
saturating the palate with their luscious flavours. Fine tannins add a gentle
structure, providing a velvety texture that enhances the overall experience. The wine
exhibits balanced acidity, harmonising the fruitiness and adding brightness to the
profile. With each sip, the wine reveals its complex layers, leaving a lasting
impression that lingers.
