A remarkable (and strong) gin, infused with a large amount of saffron, a rare and costly spice derived from the crocus flower. In addition to a slightly spicy flavour, this also gives the gin a faint, pale yellow colour.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
