Tasting Notes
Tastier than last time. Red fruits, spices, and loads of bitter herbs, but they're actually woven into the wine now rather than dominating it. Dry, vinous body with spices lingering in the finish. Last time felt like an herbal experiment; this time it's actually wine with herbal character. Much better balance.
A bold character here - bell peppers chatting with spices while dark wild cherries jam in the background. Bitter herbs like wormwood and angelica together with bitter orange keep things interesting. The palate's wonderfully dry, balancing that wild cherry jam with hot pepper kicks. Props for keeping it more vinous than bitter. Cardamom and some other spices add their exotic signature to the mix.
About
This is a vermouth crafted from Carignan Noir. The grapes were harvested at 14% potential alcohol, and fermentation was halted with 95% grape alcohol when 4 grams of residual sugar remained. The base wine was then aged in old oak barrels for 8 months.
