Tasting note

Nose

Rich and sophisticated, offering layers of dried figs, prunes and candied orange peel. Notes of old leather, tobacco and beeswax emerge, alongside subtle earthy tones of walnut and damp cellar wood. Over time, hints of vanilla, cocoa and crystallised citrus add further depth and harmony.

Taste

Full-bodied and velvety on the palate. Caramelised apple, apricot and honey mingle with gentle spices of cinnamon and clove. The oak influence is mature yet delicate, framing the fruit without overpowering it. Mid-palate notes of roasted coffee, almond and orange marmalade add warmth and complexity.

Finish

Long and graceful, with lingering impressions of vanilla, cedar and dark chocolate. A refined dryness and mineral touch leave a clean and elegant aftertaste that slowly fades away.
