Nose: Presents a robust character with a hint of darkness, where orchard and dried fruits intermingle seamlessly. Coffee, cacao nibs, and dark chocolate lay a foundational base, enriched over time by peat and toasted oak nuances, with a touch of mild minerality adding to its surprising complexity.

Taste: The body is medium to full, maintaining the dark fruity sweetness, intertwined with chocolate and a hint of dryness. Toasted oak and green herbs subtly support from behind.

Finish: The medium-long finish introduces a peppery dimension to the enduring fruitiness, hinting at a mild peaty essence.

Comment: Love the complexity. Go explore!
