L'Encantada XO Bas-Armagnac (Lot 1.0)

Nose: Incredible! Rich molasses, sweet strawberry preserves, buttery caramel, smoky barrel char, supple leather, licorice, and a hint of port wine. Palate: Thick like syrup, with notes of baked apple, woody oak, sweet caramel, warm rye spice, and bright orange. Finish: A solid conclusion given the moderate alcohol content, featuring pleasant rye spice, oak, and citrus, with just a touch of dryness.

On the nose, notes of toffee, brown sugar, and caramel. It has a rich aroma, reminiscent of baked goods loaded with molasses. The palate offers a full body with hints of spice and apple. Despite a noticeable burn for an XO, its exceptional taste makes it forgivable.
