Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich golden-amber, like liquid honey with coppery edges and a warm, sunlit glow.
Nose
Boozy, lush aroma of fresh fruit flan and raspberry sherry trifle, with port-poached pear lifting the bouquet; a whisper of Sauternes cask sweetness lending honeyed fruit and lingering opulence.
Palate
Dark chocolates laced with Italian walnut liqueur, a delicate hint of Sicilian cannoli, and a long finish of red wine and port-poached pears.
Finish
Long, refined finish of red wine and port-poached pears, with a delicate Sauternes sweetness lingering alongside warm spice and a polished fruitiness.
