Tasting Review
The Nat Cicco Casino Real Figurado opens with a balanced medium-bodied profile, delivering an immediate combination of sweet cedar, creamy nougat, and toasted almond accented by a light floral honey note. The retrohale adds soft white pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of citrus zest, providing gentle brightness to the smooth, sweet foundation. As the second third develops, flavors of vanilla bean, roasted cashew, and light caramel emerge, supported by a silky creaminess that tempers the spice. The final third introduces richer notes of light coffee, toasted oak, and a faint cocoa powder finish, leaving the palate with a mellow, lingering sweetness.
