Fonseca - No. 4 ER 2010 Benelux

[AlexOk]

Already the cold smell ignites a little flavor-fireworks with chestnuts and dried fruit. At the same time also mild and creamy. Very tempting.

Beautiful round and evenly burning. Sturdy ash with a closed surface. Light gray with darker areas.

1st third:

The Corona Extra begins more than one would expect with the cold smell. Herb and woody. Spiced Espresso paired with the subtle sweetness of dark chocolate.

2nd third:

Over time, the flavors went a bit uncharacteristic, but not unpleasant. The aromatic bitterness of espresso soaked mineral notes. Slightly animalistic. Leather, green pepper and ferns.

3rd third:

Towards the end significantly earthy. Reminded of heavy clay soil. Impressions from the mineral crystallizes out of flint. A hint of musk completes the spectrum of flavor.

Conclusion:

A delicious aromatic ER with a proper potential. In the course of flavors, but still a little edgy. Ageing potential for quite a few years.
