Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep coppery amber with a warm mahogany tint.
Nose
Opulent dried-fruit aroma of raisins, figs and currants, enriched by sherry and toffee. Bright orange zest, vanilla and cinnamon blend with polished oak, a hint of almond and subtle smoke, recalling festive Christmas cake and warm, comforting depth.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied on the palate, with velvety sweetness and warm spice. Rich dried fruit, fig and raisin mingle with toffee and dark chocolate, lifted by a hint of orange zest. Sherry-derived tannins carve a gentle dryness, balanced by creamy vanilla and oak. Finish long, with hints of clove and gentle oak, and a lingering Christmas-cake warmth.
Finish
Long and decadent, this finish drapes the palate with sherry-soaked fruit—raisins, fig and orange peel—rounded by almond, cocoa and warm spice. Velvet oak lingers as a gentle sweetness fades to a refined, festive glow.
