- Nose
- Inviting and fragrant with a delicate bouquet of orchard fruits (apples, pears), vanilla, honey, soft floral undertones, gentle oak, and spice. Notes of sweet, chocolatey, musty, fruity, earthy aromas, delicate milk chocolate, black tea, dunnage, old leather, old books, floral honey, herbal wood, and a typical astringency reminiscent of Andalusian bodegas and old amontillado. Hints of hot cocoa, fermented grapes, tanned leather, teak furniture, mint, and menthol.
- Palate
- Smooth and well-balanced with ripe fruits, creamy toffee, honeyed malt, vanilla, and soft spices. Sweet, astringent, old, floral, and complex, featuring Kinder chocolate, black tea, old leather, strong vanilla, red fruits, ancient wood, and raisins. Transitions to tea with milk and honey, floral perfume, black pepper, mint, Nutella, coffee, toasted hazelnuts, dried prunes, cinnamon, tobacco, dried apricots, toasted almonds, and wood spice. Flavors of prunes, artificial fruits, oak, ground nuts, and Werther's Originals, with an oily dram.
- Finish
- Long and elegant, with sweet fruitiness giving way to lingering warmth, gentle spice, and soft, oaky dryness. Fantastic, bittersweet, astringent, aromatic, and woody. Dark chocolate, toffee, Málaga ice cream flavor, tobacco, nutmeg, dates, and vanilla. Builds to pure cocoa powder, strong earthy notes, and dirty, funky Amontillado notes. A strong hot cocoa wave, artificial fruits, bitterness, alcoholic punch, and light tobacco notes.
