Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany tones and coppery highlights, a luxurious sun-warmed glow.
Nose
Grapey, cognac-like aromas lead into bitter orange, dark chocolate and aromatic spices (clove, cinnamon). Toasted vanillin oak adds warmth, with hints of old leather, dates, Brazil nuts and ginger mocha, hinting at a luxurious, complex bouquet.
Palate
A luscious, viscous palate of sticky dates and baked ripe figs in dark honey, with the warming spice of clove and nutmeg, glints of candied orange and bitter chocolate truffles, and a thick, grapey mouthfeel that coats the tongue and lingers.
Finish
Thick-cut Seville marmalade on cinnamon toast, bitter espresso grinds, charred oak, stem ginger and late aromatic spices.
