Tasting

• Nose: An expressive and complex nose, blending aromas of tropical fruits like mango and guava, notes of vanilla and caramel, and a spicy touch of nutmeg and white pepper.
• Palate: A powerful attack, with an explosion of flavors: rich molasses, candied fruit, dark chocolate, and sweet spices. The texture is ample and warm, well-balanced by a subtle vegetal freshness.
• Finish: Long and vibrant, marked by woody notes, dried fruit and a slight bitterness that brings structure and depth.
