Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and mahogany edges, a warm, luminous hue.
Nose
Opulent sherried nose with dark fruits—figs, raisins, dried cherries—woven into mature oak. Orange zest, honey and toffee mingle with almond, cedar and a hint of leather, while cinnamon, nutmeg and clove spread a warm spice across the aroma. Subtle cocoa and waxy fruit add depth to a refined, lingering profile.
Palate
Silky and opulent on the palate, it opens with sun-drenched orchard fruits—peach, pear, and apricot—enveloped in rich sherry sweetness. Notes of cacao nibs, toasted almond, and orange zest unfold with warm spice and vanilla. Elegant oak support leads to a long, refined finish with raisin, leather, and lingering spice.
Finish
Long, opulent finish with velvety sweetness and a confident sherry lift. Dried apricot and orange zest linger against polished oak, while cocoa, almond, and warming spice fade into a refined, honeyed echo that remains on the palate long after the last sip.
