Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich, deep amber with a warm copper-gold sheen and mahogany undertones.
Nose
Opulent sherried bouquet with dark dried fruits—figs and raisins—woven with toasted almonds and hazelnuts. A gentle spice drift (cinnamon, clove) rests atop polished oak, carried by the rich, multi-layered sweetness of Oloroso in an octave cask.
Palate
Velvety, oil-rich on the palate, it delivers concentrated dried-fruit notes—prune, fig, raisin—paired with toasted almond and walnut. Gentle spice—cinnamon, clove—drifts through a refined oak backbone. The Octave’s intensity yields depth and a long, elegant finish, where sherry warmth and roasted-nut richness linger.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with refined sweetness touched by Oloroso. Dried fruits linger—raisins, figs—alongside toasted almond and walnut notes, enlivened by a gentle spice. The octave cask’s intensity delivers a smooth, robust tail that softly fades with warm, lingering nuttiness.
