Nose: The aroma is warm, comforting, and complex. It invites with the scent of dusty old attics, crates of exquisite oranges, dark chocolate confections, creamy vanilla, and the crisp freshness of green herbs.
Taste: The palate is full-bodied, with an oily, juicy fruitiness that combines tropical and dried fruits, offering a rich tapestry of flavors. It layers dark chocolate with a rich jam of cherries and raspberries.
Finish: The finish is remarkably long, maintaining a vibrant and lively quality. The fruity essence is accented by a green edge with notes of mint, menthol, and eucalyptus. There's also a hint of "dirty" sugar cubes.
Comment: A multi-layered experience.
