Casamorati - Italica XerJoff 2016

A stormy fall afternoon. The wind is blowing outside while you sit in a cozy café waiting for your friends. You look out and see the red and orange leaves swirling through the air, while you yourself are overcome by a pleasant warmth and the smell of warmed milk with honey, almond cake and Black Forest gateau wafts into your nose from the neighboring table. You order a cup of tea. It's an English black tea with wild cherry. Next to your cup is a small Amaretto cookie. As you pour a dash of milk into your tea, you watch the dark color turn into something very creamy. You place the amaretto cookie on your spoon, dip it briefly into your tea and then let it melt in your mouth. Your friends are here.
