Rich tasting and not to strong.
Oddly it seems Much more complex than the other Camu XO blend.
I enjoyed it and wold buy again.
A beautiful gold amber Cognac. Aroma is floral with notes of dark fruit, oak and almond. Palate follows the aroma with a long fruity oak finish.
I love it and need to pair it with after dinner delicacies to soften the slight aftertaste roughness. Others might value this as a desirable “bite”. I am very pleased.
