Fratello Classico The Boxer

The Fratello Classico The Boxer opens with a bold medium-to-full-bodied profile, presenting an immediate rush of sweet cedar, espresso crema, and dark cocoa layered over a foundation of earthy spice. The retrohale adds intensity with black pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of citrus peel, creating a lively interplay between warmth and brightness. As the second third unfolds, flavors of roasted almond, leather, and molasses emerge, supported by a creamy texture that tempers the spice without muting it. The final third crescendos with concentrated coffee bean, charred oak, and bittersweet chocolate, leaving a long, satisfying finish with a subtle lingering sweetness.
