This Kavalan dates back to 2009, and the nose has touches of figs, raisins, and molasses along with soft spices and a touch of oak. The taste is dry and astringent with notes of raisins, dates, figs, white pepper, and soft oak. The finish is long, astringent, and warm with lingering touches of figs, raisins, and dates. Excellent!
