What a beautiful aromas! A little swirl and let alcohol release for about 5-10 mins... After that it's a beautiful in glass! Soft and mellow, with good body and no lack of structure at all, with notes of honey, leather, floral, oak, wood, a little cassis and above of all.. dark chocolate! In mouth, it's round and mellow.. very easy to drink and need more all the time. Aftertaste is long with note of dark chocolate and caramel til the end. Considering it's XO with actually more than a generation (25 years) in this price, with this mellow and beautiful along with very nice aftertaste, this is one of the best QPR in the market!
