Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting aromas of dark chocolate, rich caramel, vanilla bean, and a hint of cherry pie, balanced with oak spice and a touch of roasted nuts.

Palate: A powerful yet complex palate, featuring sweet dark fruits like black cherry and plum, intertwined with dense caramel, baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), and robust oak. A noticeable leather and tobacco undertone adds depth.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, spicy oak, tobacco leaf, and a pleasant char, fading into a persistent sweetness.
