Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper highlights and a mahogany-tinted edge, glowing with sherry-warmed warmth.
Nose
Sumptuous sherry-driven aromas: dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest and toasted almond, folded into rich toffee and dark chocolate. A whisper of peat smoke and sea breeze lends a maritime edge, while vanilla, cinnamon and polished oak give refined, aged sweetness that invites further exploration.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied on the palate, sherry-influenced notes of dark fig and date, orange zest, and toffee, with milk chocolate accents. Spices—cinnamon, clove—intertwine with polished oak and a whisper of peat. Rich and layered, the sweetness is balanced by refined tannins, leading to a long, warming finish.
Finish
Long, velvety finish of rich dried fruit and fig, tempered by sherry sweetness. Orange zest, cinnamon and dark chocolate unfold, with a whisper of gentle peat smoke and warm oak. The elegance endures, leaving a toasted, honeyed warmth that lingers.
