Rated 90
This wine is deep, concentrated with aromas of blackberry confiture, dark chocolate, orange zest, and dried herbs. The flavors on the palate are black currant compote, key lime cream, dried herbs intertwined with chocolate cream, salty toffee and a dry finish. Pair with Grilled Lamb Lollipops.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
