Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated ballet of rich caramel, candied orange peel, and well-integrated oak. Hints of dried cherry and dark chocolate emerge, underscored by a delicate floral sweetness and a subtle suggestion of baking spice, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Palate: The entry is velvety smooth, delivering a harmonious blend of butterscotch and toasted vanilla bean. A chewy sweetness builds, quickly met by a pleasant warmth and a robust array of flavors including dried stone fruit, leather, and a gentle tobacco leaf note. The 10 years in oak provide a refined structure without being overpowering, allowing nuanced notes of burnt sugar and a touch of roasted almond to shine through.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet oak, black pepper, and a pleasant dry cocoa. The fruit notes recede gracefully, leaving a warm, spicy glow and a final whisper of caramel that invites another sip. The slight dryness is perfectly balanced by residual sweetness, promising depth and complexity.
