Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated bouquet opens with notes of rich caramel and toasted vanilla bean, layered with undertones of dried dark fruits – fig and apricot. A delicate spice emerges, hinting at cinnamon and a whisper of white pepper, complemented by a soft, earthy tobacco leaf and a subtle, inviting oak char.

Palate: The palate is remarkably balanced and full-bodied, delivering a delectable interplay of sweet and spicy. Initial waves of buttery toffee and brown sugar give way to a robust oak presence, showcasing hints of dark chocolate and roasted nuts. Mid-palate, a lively kick of baking spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves – is beautifully integrated, leading to a creamy texture with a touch of red apple and cherry vibrancy.

Finish: A long, satisfying finish that lingers beautifully. Sweet caramel and vanilla persist, gracefully transitioning to a drying oak and a gentle, warming spice that coats the tongue. A faint echo of leather and dark fruit rounds out the experience, leaving a clean, yet complex, impression.
