Tasting notes

COLOR

DARK AMBER.

Nose

VERY RICH AND DEEP, SHOWCASING A
COMPLEX FRUITINESS CENTERED AROUND
PLUM. LAYERS OF CARAMEL ADD A
LUSCIOUS SWEETNESS, WHILE A BLEND OF
SPICES AND WOODINESS, INCLUDING
NUTMEG, CINNAMON, AND LONG PEPPER,
ADDS WARMTH AND INTRICACY TO THE
BOUQUET.

PALATE

REMARKABLE BALANCE BETWEEN SWEET AND
TART, WITH AN UMAMI EFFECT THAT
TANTALIZES THE TASTE BUDS. A MEDLEY
OF PRUNE, BANANA, CITRUS, AND
COCONUT IS INTERTWINED WITH VANILLA.
HONEYDEW AND MARZIPAN LEND A CREAMY
RICHNESS, WHILE STEWED FRUIT ADDS
DEPTH. SMOKY AND CEDAR NOTES, ALONG
WITH DARK CHOCOLATE AND A HINT OF
GINGER, CONTRIBUTE TO ITS
SOPHISTICATED, BALSAMIC PROFILE.

Finish

LINGERING ON COCOA AND INCENSE, WITH
ROASTED NUTS AND APRICOTS. TOFFEE
PROVIDES A SWEET COUNTERPOINT TO THE
HERBAL AND EARTHY UNDERTONES,
LEAVING A RICH AND NUANCED RANCIO.

EMPTY GLASS:

CARAMEL, PLUM, CITRUS AND NUTS.
DARK AMBER.
