Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery hues
Nose
Opulent nose of dark orchard fruits—figs, raisins and apricot—twined with orange zest, honeyed pear and vanilla. Cocoa, almond and warming spice drift over a sherried, oak-kissed sweetness.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied, with rich sherry sweetness guiding dark fig and date fruit, wrapped in chocolate and orange zest. Spiced by cinnamon and clove, the velvety oak adds depth, yielding a long, refined finish that lingers with cocoa, toffee and subtle warmth.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish that coats the palate with dark fruit, cocoa and orange zest, threaded with baking spices. Sherry-cask richness lingers, offering a warm, elegant glow and a final whisper of toasted oak.
