Official Sommelier Tasting Notes
Dense Medjool dates, old Oloroso sherry, Turkish delight, cured citrus peel, and sacred temple wood.
Magnificent concentration of dark chocolate ganache, candied orange zest, spiced plum, and antique Spanish oak.
Interminable, regal finish echoing dark fruit compote, roasted walnut, and exotic oriental spices.
Cellar Master Recommendation: Serve neat in a Glencairn glass at 18–20°C. Allow 1 minute of breathing per year of aging.
