Ruby violet color. Packed with red cherry licorice, pepper spice. Anise and chamomile add intensity and complexity to the aromatics. The palate is very sneaky. It’s starts off really soft with very pretty fruit and slowly builds character and complexity until it grabs your palate and slams it into a wall of deliciousness.
