Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, dark espresso brown with a glossy, near-black depth and a subtle mahogany glow.
Nose
Big, powerful sherry nose with dark fruit cake, almonds and sultanas. A medley of spirits wafts through, while vanilla, caramel and toffee add warmth. A faint trace of smoke lingers in the background.
Palate
Full-bodied and warming at 54%, this palate unfolds with rich sherry influence: espresso-dark depth, fruitcake notes of almonds and sultanas, plus vanilla, caramel and toffee. A bitter chocolate edge lingers at the back, with a trace of smoke, delivering a long, powerful finish.
Finish
Long, powerful finish with a bitter chocolate finale at the back of the palate, carried by smoky, sherried warmth. Vanilla, caramel and dried fruit thread through as the flavors slowly fade into a lingering, warming afterglow.
