NOTES:
Legado, huh? Well, it's the size of a leg. Now to see what's ado. So as to not keep it too light, I had a thought the other day as to my eventual epitaph. Not to tempt either fate or George Strait, I'd like it to read "I wasn't here for a good time, I was here for a long time." I digress.
Cuban coffee | Hazelnut butter | Black pepper (finely-ground)
Syrupy, not cloyingly. A natural dark-rounded sweetness steers. Pumpernickel. Dark but happily-high notes of even-keels. Paprika. Excellent nuance, well-lit depths. Confectionary. Leathery molasses. Cherry wood.
Smokes for a long time; offers a good time.
