Nose
Deep and elegant with rich sherry influence, dark chocolate, dried figs, raisins, and hints of sandalwood. Subtle layers of tobacco leaf and polished oak. Complex yet not overwhelming, with tropical fruity notes (mango, plums), cinnamon, tobacco, bergamot, rose petals, and a bit of mint.
Palate
Velvety and complex. Sweet dried fruits, blackberries, and plums balanced with dark honey, leather, and gentle spice. A whisper of smoke weaves through rich oak and roasted nuts. Extremely rich and very balanced in flavour, with mango, guava, passion fruit, fragrant bergamot, strawberries, light rummy notes, old cognac, creamy and rounded, with exotic spices and a hint of citrus green tea.
Finish
Exceptionally long, warm, and layered. Notes of cocoa, spice, and lingering smoke with a refined sherry sweetness. Lingering, medium long and rather light, but fresh with fruity green tea and mint in the lead.
