Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet black coffee and shellac, are followed by all manner of dark fruitiness; Blackberries lead blackcurrants, blueberry muffins, sour cherry and dried plums. There's just a hint of salty liquorice too.
Palate
Complex with Chinese salted cherries, coffee grounds and bitter dark chocolate, Cognac like at times.
Finish
Long, starting spicy, then drying, turning chocolatey, while leaving a fruity sweetness with a pinch of salt.
