Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit copper highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Delicate, sun-warmed fruit greets the nose—raisins and apricot mingle with creamy vanilla and light butterscotch. A gentle sherry echo adds walnutty, cocoa-warmed notes and subtle orange zest, while toasted oak and a whisper of almond provide quiet structure. The aroma is airy and inviting, creamy rather than boozy, hinting at refinement and a poised, lingering finish.
Palate
Light-bodied and softly sweet, the palate unfolds with orchard fruit and honeyed apricot, laced with raisin and fig from sherry cask influence. Toasted oak and delicate spice—cinnamon and white pepper—mingle gracefully. A silky, lingering finish of almonds and caramel, quietly refined and inviting.
Finish
Long, delicate, and softly rewarding. Dried fruit and a delicate sherry imprint linger, threaded with toasted almond and a touch of cocoa. The finish drapes the palate in gentle oak and citrus zest, fading into a refined sweetness that persists with quiet warmth rather than intensity.
