Out-of-body experience (absolutely supreme taste and presentation)
Visually quite dark. Very mature aroma of roasted coffee, figs and raisin, and with a hint of smoke. Deliciously mild at the beginning, well-balanced fullbodied with great traces of soil, and the fruityness in the centre. Throughout, there’s subtle bitterhints behind all the different levels which in turn, reveals themselves.
