Tasting notes

Appearance: Brilliant. Very dense. On swirling “it stains the glass”, very dark mahogany colour, almost black. Iodized hues.

Aroma: On pouring, it floods the area with notes of raisins. Intense and pleasant aroma of honey, baked orange peel and soft caramel. The oxidative aging process offers many complex notes, reminiscent of other dried fruits such as dates, figs and plums, with well integrated exotic wood undertones.

Taste: In mouth its great density and power are confirmed, though it is both fresh and not over-sweet. Good acidity. The alcohol is very well integrated. Very long end which leaves a delicious aftertaste of white coffee.

Food pairing

Classic and contemporary pastries. Ice cream, chocolate. Foie, blue cheeses. Perfect as a single drink, with ice. Room temperature or chilled, in a glass of wine.
