A very nice digestif with strong aromatic notes and a sweet and slightly spicy taste, which comes from the infusion and distillation of the extracted oil of star anise and Pimpinella Anisum seeds.
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.
