Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
This grappa shows an intense amber yellow color, limpid and crystalline.
The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas of
prune, cherries macerated in alcohol, vanilla, licorice, honey, cocoa,
tobacco, dried violet, mace and almond, with almost imperceptible alcohol
pungency. In the mouth has intense flavors, good roundness, perceptible
alcohol pungency which tends to dissolve rapidly, excellent correspondence
to the nose, very agreeable. The finish is very persistent with long
flavors of prune, licorice, honey and cocoa. A well made grappa distilled
in bainmarie discontinuous alembic still. It ages for 12 years in small oak
and acacia barrels. |
