Nose
A rich fusion of vanilla and caramelized sugars with dark chocolate, ripe melon, mango, kiwi, citrus fruits, and pepper. Notes of dark forest honey, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, and hazelnuts are also present.
Palate
Big and bold with incredible bursts of fruit, tropical flavors, caramel, and red fruit. Flavors of cherry wood, dates, nutty caramel, sweet spices, cinnamon, baking spices, and jammy notes like blueberry and strawberry jam. Rich with citrus, kiwi, and black pepper.
Finish
Long and complex, with dark and sweet fruits, caramelized sugars, dark chocolate, and almond. Dry, with red wine tannins, dancing spices, and a multitude of red and tropical fruits. Oakiness, spiciness, herbs, and a long aftertaste that becomes drier, reminiscent of grapefruit peel.
