On the palate it is confirmed as rich and enveloping, with a soft texture and a fine depth that evolves towards fruity echoes and a long, clean finish. The impression is of a mature spirit, capable of giving pleasure both as a contemplative sipper and paired with desserts based on dark chocolate or with aged cheeses; serve in a tulip glass at room temperature to appreciate its complexity and persistence. Left to breathe for a few minutes it reveals further nuances and is well suited to be shared on slow, reflective occasions.
