Profile and performance
-
General flavor vibe: Refined, modern DR profile with hybrid‑wrapper sweetness—nuttiness, cereal/bread, cacao/chocolate, citrus, baking spice, and well‑integrated pepper.
-
First third: Bread/cereal, light wood, floral sweetness, nuts (walnut/hazelnut), dark fruit, honey and mild baking spices; pepper is present but subdued on the retro.
-
Middle: Wood and citrus ramp up with richer chocolate, coffee/espresso, salted nuts, caramel, more distinct baking spices and pepper, still balanced by sweetness.
-
Final: Brighter citrus over rich chocolate and cream, almonds, leather, earth, charred wood fading back; some tasters note a drier, slightly chalky edge late but still enjoyable.
