Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This grappa shows a pale golden yellow color and nuances of golden yellow,
limpid and crystalline. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas of licorice, tobacco, vanilla, cinnamon, honey, hazelnut,
prune, hints of rosemary and almost imperceptible alcohol pungency. In the
mouth is intense, with balanced alcohol pungency which tends to dissolve
rapidly, good correspondence to the nose, pleasing and balanced sweet hint,
agreeable smoothness. The finish is persistent with flavors of licorice,
honey, hazelnut and prune. A well made grappa produced with a discontinuous
steam operated alembic still. It ages for about two years in Allier oak
barriques. |
