TASTING NOTE
Bright, dark mahogany color. The aromatics are very intense, giving scents of smoked meat, leather, brown sugar, dark chocolate, and toffee with supporting notes of dried fruits and mineral. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a baked apple-driven core with flavors reminiscent of allspice, dark chocolate, stone fruit, and black tea. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a viscous texture.
