Tasting Notes
Nose
Incense thrown on a log fire. Spiced fruitcake with raisins, star anise and saffron served on a wooden board.
Palate
Intense flavours of leather, clove, burnt caramel and liquorice. Teriyaki glaze on barbeque ribs. With water, it develops fruity notes of plum jam and dried blackcurrants.
Finish
Long and bittersweet – an espresso served with biscotti and chunks of dark chocolate.
