Tasting Notes:

Tasted in Europe. Have not seen this in the U.S.
Medium brown color.
Tart nose with rich red-wine character.
On the palate a note of earthy pumpkin leads to big notes of plums, raisins, and bitter plum skins. A very nice, strong note of bitter orange skin.
Overall, mildly sweet and very complex. Dominated by notes of red wine and bitter orange.
Beautiful vermouth!
