Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold glints, a warm, sun-kissed hue that hints at the Port finish and its honeyed fruit richness.
Nose
Aromas of vanilla and honey mingle with dried fruits, hazelnut and orange zest, while a subtle fudge note adds warmth and a generous, inviting sweetness to the bouquet.
Palate
Spicy and creamy on the palate, with cereal notes underpinning apple pie and cinnamon. Sultana and plum provide a rich fruitiness, while vanilla and honey add warmth and depth; the Port finish lends a luscious, lingering sweetness with a subtle fudgy finish.
Finish
A long, velvet finish in which port-finished sweetness lingers, wrapping the palate with rich dried fruit, plum and sultana, a thread of cinnamon spice, dotted with hazelnut and orange zest, and a gentle oak echo.
