Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Near-black mahogany, incredibly viscous and dark
Nose
Museum-piece rancio, ancient dried roses, sandalwood, beeswax, dark treacle, walnut oil, old library, incense
Palate
Profoundly rich yet impossibly delicate, ancient dried fruits, bitter chocolate, walnut, fig, treacle, waxy texture transcendent
Finish
Seemingly infinite finish, waves of dried fruit, rose, walnut, chocolate, sandalwood, and ethereal waxy persistence
