Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep mahogany with copper-bronze highlights and a warm amber core.
Nose
Opulent sherry-driven nose of dark plum, fig and raisin, threaded with cocoa and toffee. Hints of orange zest, leather and polished oak rise with spice, cedar and a touch of tobacco. Rich, resinous and regal, it promises the long, luxurious journey of Karuizawa's 28-year-old elegance.
Palate
Opulent and powerful, the palate is saturated with rich sherry: raisin, fig, prune, and dark berry compote, threaded with cocoa nib and espresso. Velvet texture coats the mouth as baking spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—unfold with black pepper heat. Aged oak adds tobacco, leather, and resin, while orange peel and dark molasses linger into a long, dignified finish.
Finish
A long, opulent finish coats the palate in deep sherry sweetness—ripe figs, raisins and cocoa—intertwined with dark plum and espresso. Warming spice—cinnamon and clove—drifts through, while robust oak and tobacco-leather tannins linger, leaving a velvet, resinous echo that persists long after the last sip.
