Scent

the first scent is soft with hints of roasted oak and notes of red and sweet wine. Then a clear maltiness and a subtle note of peat develops. Dark chocolate and coffee bring an enticing aroma of caramelized papaya and fudge.

Taste

The taste is soft despite the slightly higher alcohol strength. It has a warming finish with a gentle pepperiness. Acidity balances well with sweetness. The aftertaste is long and smooth.
