Akhtamar is an island in the middle of Lake Van.  According to legend, it was named after Princess Tamar, who is fabled to have built a fire on the island each night to guide her lover as he swam across the lake to see her.

Color
Attractive amber color tinged with copper.

Aroma
Vivid, elegant aroma.  Notes of beeswax, walnut and oak dominate the bouquet, against a background of vanilla and plums.

Taste
Well-rounded, sweet and subtle flavor intensifies slowly and offers a sensuous, lengthy aftertaste with notes of plum.  Pleasing dryness at the finish is rounded out by notes of cinnamon.
