Nose
Dirty strawberries and a soft oakiness form the base, with additional notes of red berries and hints of orchard fruits. Over time, an earthy hint reminiscent of dunnage warehouses emerges, alongside chocolate and oranges.
Palate
Full-bodied and a little rough, featuring abundant red berries and mild oakiness. The character is slightly dry, with nuances of wet leaves and sawdust intermingled with a juicy fruit cocktail.
Finish
Medium to long, introducing more chocolate, particularly dark chocolate. The dryness intensifies towards the end, culminating in notes of marzipan and toasted oak.
