• Appearance: Beautiful mahogany robe with topaz highlights, clear and brilliant
• Nose: Intense and elegant, with notes of dried fig, walnut, aged leather, fine wood, vanilla, and refined rancio
• Palate: Round and smooth, with flavors of stewed prune, cocoa, cinnamon, toasted bread, and blond tobacco. The finish is long, warm, and gently spiced

Perfectly mature, though it can continue to evolve under optimal conditions. A collector’s bottle to be opened on a truly special occasion.
