Proposed Profile

Nose: A Sophisticated bouquet of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and marshmallow.

Palate: Baked goods, cherry, the sweetness of fig, and a medley of aromatic notes.

Finish: Finished with a masterclass in balance and precision, commencing with a velvety buttery feel that gracefully transitions into a pronounced spike of spicy chocolate. The finale leaves a lasting impression with a subtle hint of leather.

Description: Smooth and cool, starting with a nice light spice and red fruit that slowly begins to introduce light green apple and almond around the third sip as it evolves on the tongue. Bright and light but still viscous. I might just be a sucker for gummy bears, but I do enjoy the nose on this one and how bright the overall experience is.
