Lacríma Christi

Deep amber with evident sediments, long fat legs.

On the nose pasification, figs, dried apricots, hazlenuts, almonds, with sweet spices (cinnamon) tobacco and roasted coffee beans, without any hint of pungency, iodene or salt.

On entry balanced with a superb acidity, 'cream sherry' in style even if not in fact. Coffee, from a long ageing process, liquorice and a very satisfying finish.
