This has an aroma that will put anyone in an autumnal mood, with baked plum, raisins, baking spices, dried fig, and crème de cassis. The palate delivers honeyed richness balanced by vivid red fruits—raspberry, strawberry, and red currant—while a peppery tingle enlivens the tongue. A touch of sour fruit and citrus adds intrigue before the finish turns drying, lingering on spiced apple.
