TASTING NOTES
A radiant, dense ruby red shade that evolves towards garnet as it ages. It has a weighty texture rich in glycerine. This wine presents a lavish and full-bodied blend of fruits, flowers, and minerals that interplay with clarity. The overall impression is one of intricate richness and complexity. Flavours of fruits, spices, and higher alcohols dance alongside notes of fruit preserves, forest floor, pipe tobacco, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, all underscored by a mineral essence that showcases the profound depth of this wine. The finish is long and carries a charming hint of sweetness. Harlequin stands out from its younger sibling Kairos with its precise attention to detail.
