It’s time to pay more respect to barrel-matured grappa, an extraordinary example of which is now up for tasting.
The bouquet reveals hints of wood, roasting, burnt walnuts and the fruity sweetness of grapes. This fruity sweetness, merging with the bitter almond and mild woody tones on the tongue is the ideal starting point for a distinguished encounter.
A Primeros Nicaragua Maduro by Davidoff, with its texture of spicy toast boosts the liquid interaction between fruity sweetness and woody aromas. At the end of the smoke it recalls an Italian sponge cake coated in chocolate. For the afternoon.
