Rich and complex with leather, spice, and caramel. Stewed fruit character (not fresh), dried rose petals, dark ripened fruit, oak, and subtle minty freshness. Not overly sweet on the nose.
Velvet-like, oily, and cream-like mouthfeel. Sweet with jam-like fruity notes and dark chocolate. Spice present on the sides of the tongue rather than the back. Vanilla and caramel prominent. Well-balanced across the palate with leather notes that are not dry. Sweetness builds over time with continued sips, revealing new layers.
Lengthy and pleasurable, among the longest finishes the hosts have experienced.
