Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe Superiere

Wine | 13.% ABV

Commercial Description:

The wine has a light straw colour with a brilliant pale green edge that catches the light. There is an appealing mix of fresh lemon blossom, ripe passion fruit and Cape gooseberry on the nose. The wine enters the palate with concentrated flavours, consistent with the aromatics. The finish is refreshing and crisp with a slight oyster shell salinity derived from the grapes provenance on cool, maritime influenced sites..

TASTING NOTES:

Pale peridot green. Slowing dripping ice-cold water produces a lightly green-tinged and billowy opalescent cloudiness. The aroma is fresh, yet slightly briny and spicy with lightly mentholated and cacao notes. The flavors are multi-layered, the grape spirit provides a complex base for subtle herbal undertones, the anise and fennel seed are sweet yet, well balanced, highlighting the minty/menthol taste of true Pontarlier wormwood.
