Staring down the final curtain, this bottle unfolds a lavish tale of toffee, licorice, and medicinal notes, entwined with trails of cigar smoke. Bereft of fruit, yet the palate clings to vestiges of vigor, nestled in round, silky tannin that glides like velvet. With a medium-full body, its aftertaste lingers with rich flavours, imparting a twilight complexity that's as compelling as it is fleeting.
