TASTING NOTE

Bright, deep mahogany color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of oak, dried fruits, dark chocolate, rye, and black pepper with supporting notes of black tea, coffee, and leather. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a dried fruits-driven core with flavors reminiscent of allspice, clove, Sherry, rye, ginger, and black pepper. The finish is dry. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a vibrant texture.
