PUNI Arte No.1 Limited Edition, 43%

Price: 120 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Italian

Matured for nearly 7 years in bourbon and scotch casks, think of this like a spicy red apple dipped in chocolate. On the nose, there’s fresh red apple, red cherry, watermelon, syrup, peppercorn, clove, salted caramel, and licorice. The flavors begin with plum, red apple, and mandarin, then spiced chocolate, a hint of smoke, coffee, chocolate cake, black cherry, Brazil nut, dark vanilla, and a spicy peppery finish. (3,900 bottles; 210 bottles for U.S.)
