Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
NONINO |
Bright medium straw colour. Intense, sweet, slightly raisiny (Sultana), spicy, vanilla-caramel nose. Fairly dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, intense, spicy, sultana raisin flavours with a lingering, vanilla-caramel finish. A repeat of the December 7, 2013 release (***) at $65.95 and was a recommended best buy. |

TASTING NOTE: Who on earth would barrique-age their grappa? The brilliant innovators at Nonino, that's who. This unique spirit offers enticing aromas of spicy cedar, vanilla, fresh and dried fruit, and a touch of woodsap and culminates in a layered, warming finish. A lovely sipping digestif.
