On the palate the impact is warm and enveloping, with a central softness supported by a slender tannic frame and a pleasant spicy persistence. The finish is long, with returns of vanilla, orange peel and earthy notes that complete the picture. Ideal for a meditative after-dinner, it pairs well with dark chocolate, aged cheeses or as a contemplative digestif, served slightly chilled in large glasses to showcase its aromas.
