A nice nose with some plum, fig, baking spices and wood. The palate has a burst of alcohol up front that dissipates pretty quickly followed by some raisin, cinnamon and caramel. It’s very oily and has a nice easy finish that keeps you wanting some more. Not rating “value” on what the 3rd party market dictates because that has nothing to do with Fortaleza as the brand.
