Tasting note

Nose

Rich aromas of dried fruits like figs and raisins, with a touch of dark honey and hints of spices such as cinnamon and clove. Subtle notes of leather and roasted nuts add depth.

Palate

Full-bodied and intense, with layers of toffee, dark chocolate, and plum jam. The spiciness of nutmeg and a hint of black pepper provide a pleasant warmth. A touch of salinity and oak influence rounds out the palate.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, a hint of tobacco, and gentle spices. The balance between sweet, spicy, and woody elements remains harmonious to the end.
