Tasting notes：

Nose: Direct, voluptuous. Covered by a layer of malted barley and chocolate, the initial aroma reveals exquisite and juicy fruits (apricot, peach, key lime). With aeration, autumnal scents of dried fruits (raisins, nuts) and Russian leather emerge.

Palate: Direct, vibrant. Slender and graceful, the palate starts with a touch of hazelnuts and a mineral quality (chalk). Smooth, the mid-palate is marked by exoticism (key lime, papaya). Then, the aromatic palette evolves into spicy (pepper, clove), saline, and animalistic (beef rib) sequences.

Finish: Airy, cohesive. The initial finish is simultaneously waxy, malty, and mineral (slate). Like the palate, the aftertaste has its share of exoticism (mango compote) and salinity. Towards the end of the finish, this salivating sequence transitions into soft notes of cranberries.
