Leathery, burnt coffee – well, the flavours are besides the point, this a relic of history that is still completely valid as an extraordinary drink. There is nothing like a novelty item about this. Infinite, divine, healing.

Deep burnt umber. Intense savoury/nutty/liquorice/aniseed aromas. Alcohol very much to the fore. Quite alcoholic on the palate with deep-set aniseed/liquorice/bitter sweet chocolate/rancio/orange rind flavours, chocolatey tannins, finishing bitter but long. 88/100
