Classic blend of American and French oak, with a bold and supple texture. The nose is led by by dark fruit notes, comprising cherry and plum, with elegant accents of chocolate and tobacco. The taste is gentle and rounded, with a harmonious cohesion of freshness, sapidity, and concentration. The finale is warm and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit and spice.
