Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany depth and a copper-gold sheen
Nose
Opulent aroma of dried fruit—figs, raisins and orange zest—woven with rich sherry and dark chocolate. Spiced oak, suede leather and coffee notes mingle with nutmeg and cedar, finishing in a warm, lingering veil of caramel and vanilla.
Palate
Opulent sherry-driven palate with velvet richness: dark plum, fig and raisin, layered with toffee, cocoa and toasted almond. Spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—add warmth, while polished oak provides elegant structure. A long, warming finish with dried fruit sweetness and a coffee-kissed, lingering warmth.
Finish
An enduring warming finish of dark fruit, cocoa and orange peel, with lingering sherry sweetness and polished oak, fading to spice and toasted almond.
