This is the JK.14 version of Aperol. A timeless classic, a great apéritif from Bassano. Orange, gentian root, Roman absinthe, quina and vanilla come together in a liqueur with a subtle fragrance and smooth flavour. Best served cold with soda and lemon zest to make the traditional aperitivo of Bassano, it is also used in the preparation of cocktails and long drinks. Use it to make a Spritz Molto Italiano:
Fill the glass with ice, and add the Rosso, prosecco, and soda water. Garnish with a slice of orange, and a green olive if you want to be a real Venetian!
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
A little bit of pungency evident upon opening and best to let it breath for 30 minutes or so and the pungency dissipated and then the wine started to show its best - good fruit, vanilla/oak, balance and elegance!
