Tasting Notes

Pretty soft black plum and kirsch, with sage, sandalwood, chestnut and vanilla bean. The nose is enticing and aromatic. The palate has grip and tension, balanced by lively, juicy fruit. Velvety and mouth-coating. Lingering and hinting its age-worthiness with soft earth and nut tones.
