Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep mahogany amber with a burnished copper glow and a velvety, near-inky core.
Nose
Opulent Oloroso warmth floods the nose with dark raisin and fig, melded with treacle and burnt sugar. Orange zest and cocoa spark, while toasted almond adds lift. Polished oak, leather and a hint of tobacco deepen the aroma into velvety, sherried richness.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied palate of dark fruit—raisin, fig, and plum—woven with orange zest, almond, and cocoa. The Oloroso finish coats with velvet spice, caramel, and warming oak, yielding a long, refined finish of leather and candied fruit.
Finish
Opulent and lasting, the finish pours forth Oloroso richness—raisin, fig and dark chocolate weaving with toasted oak. Spicy warmth, cinnamon and clove, lingers as a silky sherried sweetness slowly fades into caramel-dusted, luxurious notes.
