Opens with a deeply perfumed nose of dark fruit, red violets, and roses, layered with exotic spices, black tea, and a hint of mint. Rich and savory, it evokes baked fruit, fruitcake, white chocolate-covered raspberries, and dark earth, with subtle vegetal and sanguine notes. The palate is fresh, juicy, and structured, offering both immediate pleasure and serious aging potential. Though currently tightly wound and not yet fully expressive, its superb texture and complexity promise greatness with time. A dark, brooding beauty.
