You may ask why I am reviewing a product that is no longer available (you may find a few bottles lingering in private wine stores). So that you can keep in mind, the 2008 vintage when it comes available or better yet you can look out for other E.I. fruit wines this holiday season that will also be suitable to drop into your bubbly cocktails or serve with dessert.
This framboise is sun warmed raspberries, sweet and warm with liqueur-like intensity. And like any fresh berries it finishes with a tart kiss - not too sweet.
Just try to have only one sip...
Pair with chocolate lava cake or that decadent box of designer chocolates.
