Tasting Notes

"The nose is nutty, offering peanuts drizzled with salted caramel in front of sweet dried fruits. The palate is somewhat astringent at first thanks to the presence of tannic oak, before opening up into vanilla, plums, and herbal-infused honey. A short finish offers toffee, leather, dark roasted coffee, black pepper, and spearmint."
