Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of aged oak, dark dried fruits like fig and prune, and a prominent note of sweet molasses. Underlying hints of baking spices, leather, cigar box, and a touch of roasted nuts. A subtle floral undertone can also be detected.

Palate: A rich and commanding palate, delivering deep caramel and toffee, intertwined with robust oak tannins that are well-integrated rather than overpowering. Notes of vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and a complex interplay of dried cherry and apricot. Spice elements of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a whisper of black pepper add further dimension.

Finish: Exceptionally long and evolving, the finish echoes the palate with lingering notes of dark wood, sweet tobacco, and a gentle spice warmth. A pleasant dryness from the oak eventually gives way to a final sweet caramel and a hint of dark fruit.
