Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with mahogany depth and a warm, caramel-tinted glow.
Nose
Opulent, syrupy aromas of dark dried fruits—raisin, fig, prune—unfold over lush toffee and treacle. Rich sherry molasses cloak orange zest and cinnamon, with a kiss of nutmeg and a whisper of leather; a warm, velvety oak note lingers.
Palate
Silky, syrupy sweetness coats the palate, delivering lush dried fig and raisin, toffee and dark chocolate. A velvet sherry backbone brings orange zest, cinnamon and clove, balanced by supple oak. Rich and long, with a warm, resinous finish that lingers.
Finish
A long, luxurious finish that drapes the palate in sherry-sweet warmth. Dried fruits—fig and raisin—linger with cocoa, spice and a whisper of oak, as toasted almond and toffee emerge to leave a velvety, enduring glow.
