Tasting Notes
Colour
Gilded amber with coppery highlights and a honey-warm glow.
Nose
Opulent, sherried nose with dried plum, fig and date harmonizing with orange zest and crushed almond. Velvety vanilla and toffee weave through a spine of spiced oak, a whisper of cocoa lending depth, and a subtle marzipan finish that lingers invitingly.
Palate
Lush and opulent on the palate, dark fig and prune mingle with cocoa-dusted toffee, orange zest and warm cinnamon. The sherry depth adds velvet chew and refined tannins, while espresso and raisin notes emerge toward a long, leathery finish.
Finish
Long and refined, the finish unfolds with dried fruit, fig and orange zest, underpinned by velvety sherry oak. Cocoa and spice drift in as the palate slowly dries, leaving a warm, resinous afterglow and a whisper of toasted oak.
