Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery warmth and a honey-gold core.
Nose
Cinnamon takes the lead, with nutmeg and clove, over dark fruit and spice. Baked apple from younger expressions blends with raisin and dates, touched by orange peel. A well-integrated, inviting nose.
Palate
On the palate, cinnamon dominates with nutmeg and clove weaving through dark fruit. Baked apple notes from younger expressions mingle with raisin, dates and a kiss of orange zest. Well integrated and balanced, it is warm and smooth, finishing short and spicy.
Finish
A brisk, short finish dominated by cinnamon and nutmeg, with clove and dark fruit notes; baked apple and raisin linger briefly, touched by orange peel before fading into spice.
