TASTING NOTES - STARWARD FORTIS

Nose

Alcohol is very well integrated. Red and dark fruit of good depth, with blackberry, black currant, ripe strawberry and raisins. Very measured sweetness. The winey character is present but pleasant, even if at times the tannins are intense.

Palate

Full-bodied and round, alcohol almost not present. Good integration of dark fruit jam with a slightly drier size. The sweetness is sophisticated and never exaggerated, almost in the background. Dangerously drinkable. Only at times come hints of complex and rich spices.

Finish

Medium-long, of good refinement.

Starward Fortis is overall a very well made product, in which alcohol is very well managed, providing an intense drink in terms of aromas and flavors, but never broken down. The aromatic palette is of good level, not flattened, thanks to the sophisticated contribution of the ex shiraz and cabernet barrels.
