Nose
Restrained at first, yielding nutty, mildly salty aromas (Amontillado-like), peppery notes, and subtle fruity undertones after airing. Complex with notes of walnut, vanilla, coffee, sherry, and ripe fruit.
Palate
A delightful salty-nutty interplay with light dried fruits, pepper, fine tannins, balsa wood, and hints of liquorice root. Rich, full, and justifies its three decades in oak.
Finish
Incredibly elegant and long, permeated with gentle nuances of chocolate, smoky notes, buttery tones, and expressive oak accents.
