- Nose
- Ripe grapes, oranges, bitter chocolate, gentle vanilla, sandalwood, active oak, fresh citrus, and a hint of peat.
- Palate
- Sweet, creamy vanilla essence, milk chocolate, subtle earthy smoke, unique spices, chocolate raspberries, cherries, and a little salinity.
- Finish
- Medium to long, with sweet chocolate-cherry notes, mingling citrus fruits, woody tones, building smoke, a breeze of salty sea air, and a crisp aftertaste.
