Nose
Elegant and mature. Aromas of dried blackcurrants, sandalwood, and aged lacquered wood unfold beside notes of clove, rose petal, and incense smoke. Hints of soy, leather, and dried sakura lend quiet complexity.
Palate
Bold yet graceful. Rich sherried layers of fig, blood orange, and toasted hazelnuts meet earthy tones of cigar box, miso caramel, and spiced date pudding. The texture is seamless, with a deep, savory-sweet interplay.
Finish
Long and contemplative. Lingering warmth of dark chocolate, aged tea leaves, and a final whisper of red fruit and temple oak.
