The palate is warmly embraced by flavors of candied fruit. The intriguing sensation of an intense, rising heat slowly reveals the complex taste of eaux-de-vie patiently aged in oak barrels. Perception of a strong spicy cognac note, tantalising the lips and palate with its distinct peppery flavor intertwined with a hint of chocolate.
 A wave of warmth grows, crests and then breaks. A robust presence, full and voluptuous, is felt. There is the gradual discovery of something very familiar. It is the well-rounded flavor of a rich, dark chocolate. A striking sensation is suddenly felt – the vigorous ebb and flow of oak notes interlaced with vanilla. The evanescent oak notes leave a long, omnipresent finish in their wake. Seemingly endless, it echoes all of the subtleties of each taste and sensation that has preceded it.
