729 reviewsBatch 014. Aromas of dark fruits like plum and overripe papaya. There are also some herbal elements to the nose, with hints of allspice and burning sage. The palate is super soft and full. This has notes of peanuts, hickory, toffee, turkey gravy, and old leather. I’m really enjoying this one. It’s deep and changes in the glass the longer it’s out in the open air. This is a really nice Sierra Negra and probably my favorite of the Chinga Quedito lineup so far.
