Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose starts in a gourmet grocer with butter and European honey on bagels. There is dark chocolate with hazelnut praline, fresh mint, freshly ground coffee and sweetened condensed milk. Subtle notes of cherry jam and Turkish delight build in intensity with time.

Palate

The palate is round and supple with an oily texture that provides salted caramel, peanut brittle, pecans, wine gums and maple syrup.

Finish

The intensity dovetails into rosewater with watermelon and a surprisingly saline note that sits alongside the satisfyingly astringent espresso-scented fade.
