Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a hint of mahogany, glowing with warm, bronze-kissed edges.
Nose
Rich sherried aromas of fig, raisin, and date unfold alongside baked apple and pear. Walnut and almond notes offer a nutty backdrop to toffee and vanilla, while polished oak adds depth. Warm spices—cinnamon and clove—emerge softly, finished by a touch of cocoa and a subtle resinous lift that hints at elegant maturity.
Palate
Silky and richly sherried, with raisin and fig fruits unfolding over a velvety, oak-enhanced palate. Notes of dark chocolate, almond praline, and spice—cinnamon and clove—linger with a warm, lingering finish. Full-bodied yet refined, the warmth grows into toasted oak and a hint of tobacco.
Finish
Long, opulent finish with sherry-depth sweetness; dried fig and plum unfold into toasted almond and dark chocolate, then a warm spice coaxes the palate while the oak lingers in a velvety, lasting fade.
