Appearance: Light, clear amber Nose: An expressive, rich nose, dominated by candied and dried fruits, against a woody backdrop with a hint of vanilla. Palate: The attack is intense and distinctly sweet, revealing dried fruit before evolving into notes of cocoa and toasted almonds. The silky texture complements a distinct woodiness, which adds a hint of astringency without upsetting the balance. The finish is pleasant and becomes drier. Overall impression: A balanced and rich blend, where dried fruit and cocoa are underpinned by a pronounced woodiness and a silky texture.
