Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery-gold highlights and mahogany undertones
Nose
Wood-forward and opulent, vanilla bean, caramel and toasted maple rise over charred oak. Dried figs and prune mingle with cinnamon and clove, while leather and a hint of tobacco add polish. A polished, resinous sweetness lingers, signaling its long, elegant age.
Palate
Oak-forward and refined, the palate unfolds with vanilla, caramel and toffee, lifted by dark fruit. Concentrated char yields spice—cinnamon and clove—alongside a mature sweetness and a firm, structured frame. Silky but substantial, it coats the palate and finishes long with oak, tobacco and leather.
Finish
Long and luxurious, this finish opens with charred oak, vanilla and caramel, slowly unveiling baking spices. Warmth lingers with dark chocolate, leather and espresso, fading into a refined, oak-dusted aftertaste.
