The final aging (for an unknown time) in ex-Pedro Ximénez barrels has definitely left its mark: the nose is a triumph of raisins and marzipan together with mango, pineapple and yellow fruit, floral scents and a light biscuit base note. Very soft and caressing.
The palate turns to more muscular notes, albeit in the spectrum of sweetness, with alcohol that warms the spirits and introduces a hint of cinnamon and dried apricot, with candied orange, caramel and a smear of salted butter, together with a biscuit base woodiness. Intense and determined.
The finish is long, of wood, salted butter and cinnamon.
