Tasting Notes

The 2009 Carnelian Liqueur opens with a deep and inviting bouquet of burnt caramel, espresso, and treacle, layered with enticing hints of dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is sumptuous and full-bodied, with a smooth, viscous texture that coats the mouth. The extended oak ageing has brought forward complexity and depth, resulting in a liqueur that is bold, yet refined. The finish is long and lingering, leaving behind a beautiful harmony of rich flavours.

Serving Suggestions

• After-Dinner Sipper: Enjoy this liqueur neat or on the rocks after a meal. It’s perfect for winding down the evening or savouring with friends.
• Pair with Dessert: The richness of the wine makes it an ideal companion to decadent desserts such as chocolate mousse, tiramisu, or a rich cheesecake.
• Warm Up by the Fire: This liqueur is perfect for those cool evenings spent next to a roaring fire, making it a wonderful choice for cosy nights in.

Technical Terms Explained

• Liqueur: A liqueur is a sweetened wine or spirit that has been flavoured with herbs, spices, fruits, or other botanicals. This Carnelian is a rich, aged liqueur made from select grapes and crafted to be enjoyed in the same manner as a dessert wine or digestif.
• Oak Ageing: The wine is aged in seasoned oak barrels, which are barrels that have previously been used for aging wine or spirits. The barrels contribute flavours like vanilla, cedar, and smoke, and allow the wine to mellow and integrate over time, resulting in a smooth, complex profile.
• Viscous Texture: The term viscous refers to the thick, smooth texture that coats the mouth. This texture is the result of long-term aging and contributes to the wine’s richness and luxury.
• Treacle: Treacle is a thick, dark syrup that is often used in baking or as a sweetener. It’s rich and molasses-like, with a deep, caramel flavour that gives this liqueur its distinct sweetness.

• Cork Closure: The wine is sealed with a cork, which allows the wine to breathe slightly, promoting slow maturation and contributing to its long-term flavour development.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
